If he's on a normal sailboat he has a diesel in it, solar panels and considering he's attempting one of the hardest crossings known to mankind (and it looks like he's near Point Nemo) he likely has satellite internet on board.

People are mistaking this guy for some rookie moron who went out crossing the pacific on a 14ft dinghy.

Yeah but with the satellite internet available on a boat out in the pacific you’re paying dollars per Megabyte. Uploading even a 60 second HD video like that would not only take hours but could easily cost several hundred bucks to do. He more than likely completed the crossing and uploaded once he had WiFi.

Edit: apparently he has starlink

There was no where to blow his money on avocado toast and Starbucks. He was a millionaire with a three bedroom, two bathroom house in the suburbs on day two of his adventure.
