A Florida man washed ashore inside a bubble-like vessel on Saturday morning after an apparent attempt to walk on water.
Flagler County deputies responded to calls from concerned citizens who spotted a strange vessel on the beach in the Hammock area, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said. The vessel’s sole occupant was discovered safe inside without any injuries.
He told authorities that he had set off for New York from the St. Augustine area before encountering “complications” that brought him back to shore, the sheriff’s office said.
The seafarer, identified as Reza Baluchi of Central Florida, told FOX35 Orlando he was attempting to run in his floating “bubble” vessel from Florida to Bermuda, or travel north up the coast, to raise money for charity. Read more from Fox.
