    Is this really a rescue? Is there anything inherently dangerous about going out to sea in an enclosed bubble with rations?

        I would be more worried about oxygen than the things you mentioned.

          I imagined a small hole he could open and close on it, how else would he fish and poop? Didn’t read, so maybe I misunderstood.

        Yeah, I guess I didn’t think apart how quickly the tides would pull him out from the coast. Maybe he’s skilled enough at navigation to find his way back in open ocean? It’s not impossible to swim across seas for experienced swimmers, and I think the bubble would help with exhaustion, though if anything it would make sun burn worse.

          The problem with navigating this bubble is that even if your navigation skill is sublime, you still have to sleep. I’m certain that the tides and currents will displace you more than you can make back during the day. You’re basically on a raft without a sail.

          No. Once he’s out there, that’s it. There’s no getting back to the coast other than by a miracle.
