Related: About this forumMan in contraption washes up in Florida after trying to run on water
A man who wanted to run on water from Florida to New York has washed up on the Floridian coast in a large hamster-wheel-like contraption.
Reza Baluchi told local media he was travelling 1,000 miles (1,609 km) north from Florida's east coast for charity.
However, he ended up 30 miles south of his starting point in St Augustine.
...
In 2014 he had to be rescued from a similar contraption near St Augustine, and then two years later he again had to be rescued off the coast of Jupiter, near Palm Beach in Florida.
"I will show people anything you want to do, do it," he told Fox. "Don't listen to anyone. Chase your dreams."

It's time to stop rescuing this clown.

so he may not have inconvenienced anyone else this time - progress, in a way.
But technically, he chased his dream for minus thirty miles.
