Jean-Jacques Savin: a man, a barrel and a bottle of wine
On Dec 26th 2018, Jean-Jacques Savin a Frenchman, began a journey across the Atlantic Ocean, departing
from near El Hierro, the smallest of the Canary Islands. Uncertain of where he will land, he packed accordingly
with Foie Gras and wine in his under 75 square foot barrel made of plywood that is orange and coated with resin.

"Maybe Barbados, although I would really like it to be a French island
like Martinique or Guadaloupe," he joked.
"That would be easier for the paperwork
and for bringing the barrel back."
