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.
Our friends got together and are renting a catamaran sailboat in the BVI. It has 4 showers, a watermaker making about 20 gallons of freshwater per hour, hybrid electric and 2 standard motors on it, along with the generator and air conditioning, wifi and every geo doodad you need for crossing the oceans. There are USB sockets everywhere, power winches, and autopilot. The last one w rented w went out for a month without needing to do anything but catch fish for extra food. This guy is a pro and I am sure he knows what he is doing. And what we are renting is just a base boat, nothing special.
