[HEADING=2]French adventurer, 75, dies attempting to row across the Atlantic solo[/HEADING]

Jean-Jacques Savin, a 75-year-old French adventurer who was attempting to row across the Atlantic Ocean solo, was found dead inside his boat Saturday after he had sent out distress signals in the days before, his team said in a statement.
The Portuguese coast guard found the boat overturned near the Azores, the Portuguese archipelago, on Friday and dispatched a diver on Saturday.
Savin had activated his distress beacons Thursday night into Friday morning, the statement said. An earlier statement from his daughter, Manon Savin, was posted by his team to his Facebook [page]('https://www.facebook.com/Jean-Jacques-Savin-Travers%C3%A9e-de-lAtlantique-%C3%A0-la-rame-2083462608591833'), saying that the beacons signaled a situation of “great difficulty.” French, Portuguese and American officials were immediately alerted, she said.
The team declined in the statement on Saturday to elaborate further about his death, as the full circumstances were not yet clear.
Savin had celebrated his 75th birthday at sea on Jan. 14, two weeks after departing from Portugal on Jan. 1 in what he had described as his “last challenge at sea,” rowing across the Atlantic from Portugal to the Caribbean. The journey was estimated to take about 100 days.
“Unfortunately, the ocean this time was stronger than our friend,” the statement said, “he who loved navigation and the sea so much.”
In his last dispatch posted on Facebook before sending the distress signals, Savin said that his solar power device, used to charge the machine that desalinated his drinking water, was not working, forcing him to use a manual device that “costs me physical energy.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not in danger!” he wrote. Savin also mentioned a forecast of strong swells and winds but expressed optimism that the strong winds would help push him toward the Azores.
Despite the struggles, he said, his morale was “very good.”
Savin had successfully traversed the Atlantic in 2019, [floating 2,930 miles in a bright orange barrel-shaped vessel]('https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/05/08/french-adventurer-completes-trip-across-atlantic-ocean-huge-barrel/?itid=lk_inline_manual_18'). He celebrated his 72nd birthday on that trip, for which he had [packed ]('https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2018/12/27/frenchman-is-traversing-atlantic-ocean-barrel-he-packed-foie-gras-wine/?itid=lk_inline_manual_18')wine and foie gras. He also crossed the Atlantic in a sailboat, ascended Mount Blanc and swam across the Arcachon Bay in France four times.
Had he been successful in this journey, Savin would have been the oldest person to have rowed across the Atlantic solo. The current [Guinness World Record holder ]('https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/616353-oldest-person-to-row-across-the-atlantic-solo')is a British man named Graham Walters, who last rowed across the Atlantic in April 2020 at age 72.
The rowing trip, aboard a boat named l’Audacieux (The Audacious), had kept him more occupied than the voyage in the barrel: He thanked friends and family for sending texts and emails, but told them that as he was no longer simply floating in the barrel, “I don’t have time to reply.”
Amid the hurdles detailed in his last dispatch, Savin said that “after long reflection, I continue this adventure which I think will be exceptional.”
