Chris Bertish
A South African man has joined a shortlist of people to have
achieved an impressive feat of crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a stand-up
paddle board.
Chris Bertish, 42, accomplished the 4,050-mile (6,517km) journey
alone and unassisted with no support boat, carrying everything he needed
on board.
Mr Bertish arrived in Antigua, in the Leeward islands of the
Caribbean, at 08.32 local time (12.32 GMT) on Thursday after departing
from Agadir, Morocco, 93 days ago.
"It seems mind-boggling that I’m alive at all, to be honest., I really
had a lot of support and guiding hands from many different sources, both
high and low.”
