A British man, Andrew Bedwell, 52, is rescued during an attempt to cross the Atlantic in a 4-foot boat, according to reports. The rescue happens on the second day of the journey as he seeks to fulfil a long-standing goal of breaking the world record for the smallest vessel to make the ocean crossing, a record that has stood for more than three decades.
The reports add that Bedwell previously attempted the same challenge and was rescued during an earlier, failed attempt about three years ago. Despite that setback, he sets out again aiming to achieve the record he has pursued for some time.
Details of his exact location during the rescue and the circumstances leading to it are not included in the provided excerpts. The information that is common across the accounts is that Bedwell’s Atlantic bid is underway in the very small craft, and that rescuers intervene within the first two days of the attempt after he again targets the record for the smallest vessel to cross the ocean.
