Man set to swim across the Pacific after conquering the Atlantic

Long distance swimmer Ben Lecomte will swim across the Pacific Ocean to raise awareness about the state of our oceans.  He has been preparing for this swim for seven years and will be swimming for eight hours a day.  Along the way, Ben's crew will be collecting scientific samples in order to "help us better protect our oceans."  I wonder if Ben ever saw Jaws.

I heard he was going to have a radiation monitor to see if Fukushima radiation is out there. I didn't see it in this article tho. I hope he will be monitoring the radiation.
