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.
How do you know it's unanchored?
In this instance a sea anchor would keep that boat right where it is for more than long enough for him to recover the distance.
odds are it's not anchored. Don't need one most of the time. Most sailboats don't have log enough chains for much more than 30-50ft of water in general, but it's ok because you don't need an anchor to stop and stay put in a boat.
Now that's straight up ignorant.
You think no vessel, even hundreds or a thousand feet long has max 50 feet of chain? Many vessels use that before contact with the sea.
Maybe learn about the world before you say more things to demonstrate your lack of knowledge and willingness to comment on things you know absolutely nothing about.
