Microyacht adventurer Andrew Bedwell tells Katy Stickland how he resurrected his Atlantic ocean world record challenge and has now built a new 100cm boat
90 days forced to remain sitting or standing, wearing a dry suit that will reek of rancid BO, dirty butt and farts before the end of day one, unable to lay down to sleep. Unable to even have a shit if the sea state is too high and you can’t open the hatch without flooding the boat for a few days.
When I take commercial flights across over an ocean, being stuck in one seat, unable to recline, dry lips and lousy food and uncomfortable bathrooms, for 8 - 12 hours, I hate life and have to find ways to disassociate my mind from how miserable the experience is and every time I swear I will either never go again or pay extra for first class.
I cannot possibly imagine sitting upright in a half-sunken big-gulp bobbing in the water for three fucking months.

Fuck. That.

This is taking masochism to a new level. He can, of course, do what he wants. But my god this is a dumb idea.
