I wonder how many times he will actually be able to open the hatch without taking on water.

I see he is looking for sponsorship. Wonder if he has approached the pharmaceutical companies that make anti-psychotics and the likes? Would be a good fit.
"With my sponsors product, I did not go mad living in a barrel and getting tossed around like a rag doll for 108 days..."
For a better chance of financial return, he should take the same concept and apply it to a land based challenge. Live inside a washing machine at a laundry-mat for 3 months. Better still, have the washing machine available for the public to use (for a fee) while he's in it, to represent the storms, waves and water that he would face in the barrel on the atlantic. Then everyone could sit there watching him get soaked and spun around just like he was out in the atlantic in his barrel.

His family thinks hes a bit nutty.... Mine thinks he's a raving loony  But I do admire his drive and balls....assuming they haven't been removed so he can fit in the thing. |

anyone remember the 3?m sea egg?  bernews.com/2014/03/1968-ocean-crossing-in-12-foot-sea-egg/edit - Riding and “Sea Egg” would soon meet an unfortunate end; the experienced sailor was halfway through a circumnavigation in 1973 when he and the boat were lost in the Tasman Sea.
He left New Zealand in May of that year, and was later officially declared lost at sea.
No trace of the vessel or its captain has ever been found. |
