- Description: Peter Bray, the first to kayak across the Atlantic from west to east without tropical trade winds or the safety of the east-to-west route's warmer waters, achieved a notable feat in ocean kayaking. His initial attempt in 2000 nearly ended in tragedy when he launched from Newfoundland with 100 days of food, only to encounter a malfunctioning electronic pumping system and rough seas, leading to a near-death experience and a four-month recovery. A year later, Bray embarked again with a technologically advanced kayak, facing numerous challenges including storms, equipment failures, and a close encounter with a killer whale. Despite these obstacles, Bray successfully completed the 76-day journey, landing in Ireland. His achievement, while technologically aided, stands as a significant accomplishment in transoceanic kayaking

Mes premiers souvenirs de la vie sont ceux d’un monde en guerre. Ce qui explique peut-être ma vie sur la route, cette quête menée sur le terrain pour savoir si les hommes seront un jour capables d’établir la paix.

Le jour est levé depuis Longtemps quand j'ouvre les yeux. Après une bonne douche, je m'introduis dans le costume de gabardine fabriqué spécialement pour le voyage. Je me sens en forme ce matin.
Les sacoches sont remplies des objets que j'ai peu à peu et minutieusement classés.
Une tente à mât central, un tapis de sol cousu en forme de cuvette, un bon duvet, la popote, les couverts, une grille pliante, de l'alcool solidifié, une pharmacie, mon linge de corps, une paire de souliers de montagne, une paire de souliers cyclistes de rechange, un short, un survêtement en laine, un pull-over, une paire de genouillères, un passe-montagne, un briquet à butagaz, les cartes pour mes premières étapes, les pièces de rechange pour la bicyclette, outillage et chambres à air, un nécessaire de toilette, un livre de bord, des papiers divers et un passeport.
Sacoches accrochées, j'enfourche pour la première fois ma bicyclette qui va devenir ma compagne des bons et mauvais jours. Arrivé à l'atelier, où déjà les amis m'attendent, je reclasse tout mon matériel dans les cinq sacoches, deux à l'avant, deux à l'arrière et sac de guidon. Tout mon matériel est utile. Si je disposais de crédits pourrais expédier des colis d’allégement, mais ce n'est pas le cas. D’ailleurs, avec les complications de douane cela n'arriverait pas à temps. Je dois donc m'habituer à ce poids : 19 kilos de bicyclette, 41 kilos de bagages. Dieu, que c'est lourd et dur à traîner... comme un boulet !
