Fairfax crossed the Atlantic, becoming the first solo oarsman in recorded history to cross any ocean, and reached the shores of Hollywood, Fla., the day before Apollo 11 landed on the moon. His crossing was seen as so momentous that the astronauts sent back a message to Earth offering him their congratulations. \u201cWe who sail what President Kennedy once called \u2018The new ocean of space\u2019 are pleased to pay our respects to the man who, single handedly, has conquered the still formidable ocean of water,\u201d astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin A. Aldrin Jr. wrote at the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<div id=\"adm-inline-article-ad-1\" class=\"admz\">\n<div class=\"adma boomerang\" data-device=\"Desktop\" data-width=\"300\">\n<div class=\"pmc-adm-boomerang-pub-div ad-text\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Fairfax died in 2012 at the age of 74. Over the course of his colorful life, he apprenticed to a pirate, managed a mink farm, and later made his living playing baccarat, at\u00a0least according to a New York Times obituary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The producers on the project are Rob Goodrich and Jason Armstrong of Walk Like a Duck Entertainment. Tiffany Fairfax, the widow of John Fairfax, will serves as executive producer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cJohn Fairfax was the real-deal and we are honored with the opportunity to help bring his remarkable journey through life to screen with the support of his devoted love, Tiffany Fairfax,\u201d Walk Like a Duck Entertainment said in a statement. \u201cWhile we\u2019ve all become overly-connected to technology, special media and new forms of peer pressures, John Fairfax fought one battle: John vs the world, regardless of fanfare or perception. Tiffany has been a steadfast gatekeeper of John\u2019s legacy and we look forward to quickly putting focus on packaging this project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cJohn Fairfax is the love of my life,\u201d Tiffany Fairfax said. \u201cHe is my hero, my soulmate and my king. Since meeting with Rob, Jason and the Walk Like a Duck Entertainment team, I am certain that the king\u2019s adventurous, brilliant, loving, superhero lifestyle will be achieved on-screen. No one else can replicate the integrity I experience with Rob and Jay. John lived a million lives in the span of one and I\u2019m so excited for the world to see this man exactly as he was and I\u2019m confident Walk Like a Duck is the perfect company to achieve this.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Source: variety<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walk Like a Duck Entertainment\u00a0has acquired the life rights to the story of\u00a0John Fairfax, an adventurer who crossed both the Atlantic and the Pacific in a rowboat.
