A male nurse

This is the year 2014. It is no longer extraordinary for a nurse to be a man, nor has it been for approximately 40 years. Similarly, a female pilot similarly do not need to be described as an "aviatrix."

He is not the first to make that trip. He just took the longest to do it. Others have spent 7 months and more in the crossing. I would expect such a person to be a little darker of skin, though.
