“We have found "OLO" at first light this morning, just south of St. Mary's, Isles of Scilly. Looking in top shape Olek was pleased to see us on a lovely summer day, but he is keen on to move on to mainland France

"In the worst case scenario, I did not think I could find myself in something so downing. My attempt to get out of this terrible conflict was a "signal strike". It was a sign of despair, that I was hurt, and I couldn't seek help from anywhere" -

- “Mr. Doba and his kayak are already on board. We are working hard to fix the rudder," wrote to me Isaac Ansari, a Hong Kong-based company representative on Friday, June 30, 2017, shortly after 12 noon East Coast time.

Each of us could ask oneself: what did You do in your life? Because, for instance Aleksander Doba crossed the Atlantic on a kayak twice. And he is going to do it again. But why do such an expedition by the worst weather and along the most difficult route?

Everything is almost ready. The kayak is already on the way to New York. Its captain – Aleksander Doba – is going to surprise the world again. He heads out on, as he says, a life journey. He will start in New Jersey on 29^th May. He has 3000 nautical miles to overcome and the journey will last about 3 Months.

He argues that it is better to live one day as a tiger than one hundred years as a sheep. His principle is: the more difficult, the more interesting. What pushes many away, draws him…

He is turning 70 in September and he still poses himself new challenges. Not only once has he proved that nothing is impossible. At the end of May Aleksander Doba will embark his Third Transatlantic Excursion. This time he will be kayaking from New York to Lisbon. He is an inspiration to many people. During the meetings which take place in the whole Poland he talks about his adventure but also motivates others to achieve their dreams. In Adrianna Otreba’s report Alekander Doba he talks about his determination, enormous passion and preparation for the next expedition.

On 29^th May of this year Aleksander Doba will launch his oceanic kayak named “OLO” on the Atlantic for the third time. Unlike the two previous expeditions, this time the kayaker will be paddling to the East - starting near the Statue of Liberty in New York and finishing in a well-known to many travelers and discoverers Belem, a famous harbor district of Lisbon. In this way he intends to fulfill his transatlantic expedition’s goal – doing a closed loop from the East to the West and back.
