What!?!

Somebody just rowed across the Atlantic Ocean. ROWED!?! And he wasn't the first to do it either:
A British rower has set a record for the slowest-ever Atlantic crossing, coming ashore in southern England Friday, 124 days after leaving North America.

The time was a disappointment, considering the 23-year-old rower, Oliver Hicks, had hoped to break the record of 62 days for the fastest west-to-east crossing.
Why have I never heard of anyone doing this before? Sheesh.
