As San-Francisco Chronicle reports, the traveler expects to spend 79 days on the run. The finish in New York near the Statue of Liberty is scheduled for June 5. Meanwhile, an unforeseen incident has already occurred on the way: having started from his hometown, Otter accidentally headed in the other direction - toward the Pacific coast. He realized his mistake only when the masts of yachts moored at the pier loomed ahead.
Specially for his trip, Otter modified one of the lawnmowers produced by his company, increasing its maximum speed from 10 to 40 km/h. In addition, reports Gazeta.Ru, he got an audio player and headphones, through which he will listen to Mozart to avoid suffering from the crackling of the engine.
