No, a helicopter pulled him from the sea. But his story seems tall. 12 hours in the Atlantic?

Looking for another 15mins I think

Met him once, very eccentric, Id say very intelligent to the level of borderline buck mad

He was 4km out, not 400m. Could maybe question the length of time but after 8pm when found so could have been a good few hours.

The tide must have carried him out for hours all the same and to keep afloat for that length of time with no lifejacket is no mean feat.

Imagine being 4km out on your own. I don't know about the rest of ye but I think that would be f**king terrifying

We need more info on this story. I read something on reddit about average survival times of adults in the north sea during summer and it was just over an hour, yet he managed to tread water for 12 hours.

According to google treading water burns about 11 calories per minute. This is equivalent to a 1 hour 10km run, but he did 12 of them! So about the equivalent of 3 marathons in a row at a decent pace.

The story smells. IF he has rigged this then he should be charged the callout bill and run out of town.

He's a big cub . A lot in reserve, and a bit like a seal with plenty of "protection" from the elements

A big cub will burn more calories staying afloat.
