Swimming across the Pacific Ocean: Ben Lecomte ending journey
Ben Lecomte, 51, is ending his attempt to become the first person to swim across the Pacific Ocean.
He says he’s not tired, but with a broken sail on his support ship and the weather looking treacherous he’s calling it quits roughly a third of the way through the swim.
Lecomte says he’ll be back in the Pacific next summer, swimming the ocean’s 79,000-ton garbage patch.
