The Coast Guard first encountered Baluchi on Wednesday after receiving a report about a man in a bubble off the coast of Miami, disoriented and asking for directions to Bermuda, a Coast Guard press release said. It was not clear when he started his quest.
A Coast Guard cutter found Baluchi. Officials described the craft as a "hydro pod bubble" and a man in a 2013 YouTube video called a Baluchi bubble "a big hamster wheel." It moved along the ground as Baluchi ran inside.
In the press release, the Coast Guard said Baluchi had protein bars, bottled water, a GPS and a satellite phone. The Coast Guard conveyed the voyage's dangers and asked Baluchi to quit his journey because he didn't have enough supplies. But he wouldn't leave his vessel, officials said.
The Coast Guard monitored his progress and on Saturday morning an exhausted Baluchi activated his personal locating beacon, the Coast Guard said.

He’s a Dreamer!
He’s a hamster!
He must burn a lot of calories. I should get one for the pool.
Never been to Bermuda, not sure I’d go for it myself but..
We dilute the gene pool rescuing the stupid.
Bug out!
UnLike that favorite childhood saying, ‘There are no stupid questions’...There are apparently some stupid ideas...
Scoff if you will, a couple more months of open borders and this might be the best way to get around.
This is how man expands his mind and his understanding of how he fits in to the scheme of things.
Aren’t we all reward driven, like caged monkeys, pressing the right buttons?
His buttons are just a little sticky is all. ;-)
We need a bunch of those for all the ebola refugees to use to go home
The guy must be doing some excercise in that thing. He’s also showing that it’s possible to run or walk across the ocean.
where did he go to the bathroom??????
Where does he pee?
Depends...
It’s a giant ‘Zorb’ with paddles.
The colours of the float things could be a little brighter, criminy, he just started, they’re kind of faded .. Oh wait! They look like soccer balls.
The guy was nuts. Bermuda is about a 1000 miles from Miami. It’s closer to start the trip from New York City.
