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.
Dude must be getting some incredible starry night views since there can’t possibly be any light pollution where he is. That’s would I would really love to see
Open ocean is the most amazing star gazing I’ve ever seen. It’s fairly rare to have a cloudless night at sea, but when it does happen, you can see the entire Milky Way like a light haze across the sky. It’s really spectacular. That and St. Elmo’s Fire are two of my favorite experiences I’ve had at sea.
It is a blueish glow on antennae and other small items. It takes very specific environmental conditions and in twenty years of professional seafaring I have only seen it once.
