In 1968, Hugo Vihlen broke the record for crossing the Atlantic Ocean in the smallest vessel when he crossed in his 6 foot long vessel April Fool. Thirty-five years later, at age 61, he again broke the record in his 5 foot 4 inch vessel Father's Day. He served as a combat pilot in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War, was a pilot for Delta Airlines, and wrote two books about his record breaking voyages. I had the pleasure of interviewing Hugo and hearing his first hand account of his experiences.
