Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for March 17, 2023

How did Mr. Bedwell’s ocean voyage turn out?

What’s the science behind hard-of-“herring” salmon that’re farmed?

… the key word being “plans.”

Regarding the sailor:Momma always said, “Stupid is as stupid does.” – Forest Gump

It appears that he will be standing or perhaps swimming along side his boat during the journey. Destination ?? Canary Islands??

And that 39-inch boat won’t capsize within deep ocean swells or during a storm.

And if the aquariums had too many sharks in their tanks, they downsized by playing the Jaws theme!

Can those salmon hear Charlie’s ads or find Nemo?

It must be 10 feet deep in order to hold enough food, water, etc.

That sailboat is smaller then a coffin.

They should have played “Baby Shark” instead.

Will he pull a trailer to carry his food and give himself room to sleep at night?

I hope mr. Bedwell has a contingency plan in case he runs out of supplies.

I suppose the boat doesn’t have a head, either…?

Yeah I too go “deaf” when someone tries to can me.

Take care, may amorous dolphin Feep “Hey That’s My Blow Hole” Glubord be with you, and gesundheit.

May Andrew Bedwell RIP.

how do you test hearing in salmon? suppose they just don’t want to listen?

I used to work for a Scottish-run seafood smokehouse near Philadelphia, which is now in Miami. I would be dispatched to Newark International Airport to pick up farm-raised North Atlantic salmon that was raised in Chile, which abuts the South Pacific! They had already been slaughtered, and were sent by air freight on Continental Airlines in Styrofoam boxes.

BYE-BYE BEDWELL!!

Did the sharks push it real good?

Mr Bedwell coffin is going to be bigger than his boat.

am i on?

little does anyone know that Mr. Bidwell has named his above ground swimming pool, “Atlantic”….

The missing word is ‘brain dead’.

Towed 13 foot life raft included.

Old Andrew Bedwell won’t even be able to sail across the English Channel in that dinky boat.

Push-It-Real-Good…

How tall (long) is Mr. Bedwell?

Bedwell is an ironic name given that he won’t sleep Well in a Bed only 39 inches long! So I will Bid him fare-Well now.

One quick search helped scratch my “Why?” itch on farmed salmon deafness.

Interesting stuff, if you’d like an easy find:

Circa 2000, a man planned to walk across the ocean with buoyant footwear, lugging a raft full of provisions. I think it’s just as well that a weather mishap caused him to cancel his plan before he set out.

I would add “try” in there somewhere too!

I would think that the theme from “Jaws” would be just as effective

The skunk keepers should have used Barry White.

Best laid plans of mice and men………………

It may work if he is towing a 39 foot dinghy loaded with food, water, radio and safety gear and also has sails. Ha! Ha! if it makes the Guiness Book of Records.

Is he planning on sailing across the Atlantic Ocean unassisted or with a support vessel loaded with supplies in close company?

Is there a small pond in England called “Atlantic” because the post doesn’t explicitly state “Atlantic Ocean”?

I only have one word for Andrew Bedwell…“WHY?”

Did they try the theme from JAWS??
