After 29 days on the Atlantic, 39-year-old Kiel resident Michael Walther has abandoned his attempt to cross the ocean on a stand-up paddleboard due to strong winds and currents. He set off from Dakar, Senegal, on June 22, aiming for Cayenne in French Guiana. Walther was rescued by a ship and is now heading to the Canary Islands.
