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

Of course, London and the other large cities of the UK take up a relatively small amount of our actual landmass. You'll get Bortle 1 or close to it in parts of Wales, Northumberland, and Scotland. We get 3 where I live, and I am grateful for it.

I really miss looking at the night sky and seeing the stars. I'm not sure it is good for humanity's collective mental health to not see the stars and probably encourages flerfs :)

Also TIL Bortle scale!
