Awesome!

Oliver Widger, 29, arrived on May 24 in Waikiki, Hawaii, with his cat in tow, the AP reported. But he didn’t fly there. Widger and Phoenix sailed from the Oregon coast in a boat he bought without knowing how to sail. Widger was diagnosed four years ago with a syndrome that carries the risk of paralysis, so he quit his managerial job with $10,000 of debt and used his retirement savings to buy and refit the boat. “I think people have seen that it’s possible to break out,” Widger said. Upon reaching Hawaii after several weeks at sea, he didn’t have a clear plan for what’s next but said he might sail to French Polynesia.
