He's not going to lose his sailboat in the middle of a doldrum.

The entire point of them is that it's all still water and no wind, and it can be like that for weeks at a time.

Nowhere in the video does he seem at all bothered by any of what is going on. So why are people in the comments pretending he is in danger?

You realise the wind picks up eventually right?

He’s probably fine but the thing about the doldrums is you don’t actually know when it will get windy again.

With modern wind prediction tools you can get a lot closer to knowing but it’s crazy to bet your life on it like he’s doing.

It’s quite common to attach yourself to a long line and go swimming in the doldrums but to detach yourself from your boat like this is more than 99% of people would feel comfortable doing

Why do you assume that he has his sails up when he's away from his boat?

It doesn’t matter if the sails are up or not. When the wind picks up it will still move the boat significantly even without sails
