It has reached 1million downloads, he began swiming this morning.
But he will take a break whene he gets to iceland, to visit his mom.

btw. He won't be able to finish his swiming. North atlantic is way to cold and it takes ship one week to go from norway to iceland and than he has to swim to the us.
Not possible for untrained geek

He didn´t make it

Opera's CEO, Jon S. von Tetzchner heroically saved the life of his PR Manager in a dramatic development this morning when “Phantom", the company inflatable raft, was punctured off the coast of southern Norway. Rumors circulate about possible sabotage, but it may just have been the raft's poor condition that resulted in its complete breakdown as Jon and his helper started on day 2 of their transatlantic swim.
