Joey had always dreamed of setting a world record and becoming famous. Unfortunately, breaking world records is hard.

Then it happened. No one believed it was possible, but The Atlantic Ocean froze solid all the way across. Joey knew it was his chance. He would be the first man to cross the Atlantic by snowmobile.

Joey pulled the snowmobile out of the garage and took off blazing across the now frozen ocean.

After two days, Joey realized he had underestimated his fuel needs. It looked like he would have to walk. Then he realized it was getting considerably warmer out.
