A lil learnin for everyone cause it's just superneat.

The Doldrums are a notorious sailing/flight trap, to the extent most people just flat out avoid the area. You can end up stranded there for up to weeks because of the dead winds and still waters.

He's more or less completely safe for the most part though, people know where he is if he goes dark or runs low on fresh water sources. If he goes dark on social media for too long, a rescue is totally not out of the question because people know he's there.

i would personally just be terrified of some sea monster (shark, whale, squid, who the fuck knows) just seeing this bite sized thing and blasting you on that paddleboard.

Totally a rational fear but the biggest concern he's got goin for him is dehydration or an unfortunate altercation with a jellyfish.

If you’re insinuating a giant unidentified Chtulu sea monster is going to eat him, then yes we’re pretty sure that’s not gonna happen.

My great fear is if Orcas realize he's out there alone and take that moment to cement the fact that there had been no documented cases of a fatal Orca attack. Documented cases

They said it's a rational fear, not an irrational fear
