Hugo Vihlen

Hugo Vihlen (born November 13, 1931)〔Date information sourced from (Library of Congress Authorities ) (control number n 96102109). Retrieved on August 19, 2010.〕 is a single-handed sailor who set world records by crossing the Atlantic Ocean in two tiny sailboats in 1968 and 1993.
==1968 transatlantic crossing==
On March 29, 1968, Vihlen departed Casablanca, Morocco, in his 5-foot, 11-inch (1.8 m) sailboat ''April Fool''. Over the course of 84 days he sailed some before his progress was thwarted by winds and currents. Vihlen was able to approach to within of Miami on the night of June 20 but he was pushed back to sea by offshore winds and the currents of the Gulf Stream. The United States Coast Guard launched a search for the sailor on the morning of June 21 at the request of his parents. He was first spotted by a party aboard the ''First Edition'', a boat owned by Fort Lauderdale publisher Ted Gore who gave Vihlen food and water. Gore offered to tow Vihlen to shore but the sailor refused. Vihlen and ''April Fool'' eventually were taken aboard the United States Coast Guard Cutter ''Cape Shoalwater'' and then Vihlen transferred to the fishing boat ''Sea Wolf'' where his son and wife were waiting for him. At the time of the voyage, Vihlen was a co-pilot for Delta Air Lines living in Homestead, Florida.
The voyage is described in Vihlen's book ''April Fool, or, How I Sailed from Casablanca to Florida in a Six-foot Boat''.
