Mexican adventurer Abraham Levy, who in 2008 kayaked 11,000 kilometers (6,800 miles) along the coasts of his country, will try to row it alone from Spain to Mexico in a boat equipped with the latest in 21st-century navigation technology.

"I want to do what the great explorers did and set out from the Old World, leaving Puerto de Palos en route to Mexican lands," Levy said.

The adventure of rowing across the Atlantic will begin on Oct. 12, 2013 at Puerto de Palos, Spain, and will end six months later, in March 2013 in Cancun, Mexico, Levy told Efe.

"More people have been in outer space than have crossed the ocean under their own steam," Levy said, adding that with his feat he hopes to recall the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas.
