Goble-Warming Paddles the Atlantic

For those that don't know Goble-Warming, let me introduce you too our
Iron-Man Grandpa. He's done more Duzi Canoe marathons than God, he's sailed
in a Hobie World Championship (and is happy to admit coming last), he's won
a prize for owning the oldest Hobie at the National Championships, he and
his eldest son won the 'father and son' Duzi title way back in the distant
past and so on.

This afternoon, he hankered for some exercise, so untied my plastic kayak
and went for a paddle. We think he should write a letter to the Guinness
Book of Records, requesting acknowledgement of being the only person in the
world to have paddled a kayak across the middle of the Atlantic and he
didn't have to be rescued.
