    The part where upon being stopped by the Coast Guard - he threatened to kill himself and that he had a bomb. Also his device is not seaworthy and they would be dispatched to find him anyway when he dissapears because that’s what they have to do.

      I didn’t know you needed to have a seaworthy device to sail on open waters.

        Hazard to other traffic. If you cant steer, dont have lights, dont have a radio, and dont have a beacon or radar reflector, you’re being a pain in the ass for everyone else on the high seas.

        Just like how a car needs to have a minimum standard of roadworthiness to drive on public roads
