But they don't do it with nearly the style of this guy. There are people today who do cool stuff like this. He Old Man and the Sea-ed it up, if you'll allow me the liberty of verbing nouns. When he was nearly a few scores old, he shoved off from Newport, Rhode Island (without his wife/cousin Henrietta or his many children) in his trusty Spray to reenact some of the Robert Louis Stevenson and Daniel Defoe novels he loved. He was the first person to circumnavigate the world alone (and that means to sail all the way around it, for you greenhorn scallawags out there). He doesn't care that he looks like a doofus with it on, which makes him that much cooler. He's old, he's on a boat, he's got a badass straw hat.

Check out how awesome this Joshua Slocum dude is.
