What’s it like to be stuck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? Many of us will never know, but one guy now has first-hand experience!

For many people, this would be their worst nightmare. You’re stuck out in the middle of the biggest ocean on planet earth and no matter where you look, you’re surrounded by only water. Seemingly endless water. How did he end up there? Read about the story and check out a video he posted below!

What’s It Like To Be Stuck In The Middle Of The Pacific Ocean?

It sounds like the plot of a movie. Castaway meets The Life Of Pi. This nightmare scenario became all too real for the sailor-influencer who goes by @sailing_songbird on social media. According to The New York Post, he was more than 1,000 miles from land in every direction. That is not where you want to be stranded.

His viral video now has more than 32 million views on TikTok and that number is only continuing to climb. In the video’s caption, the influencer writes, “So disorienting with nothing on the horizon.” No kidding! I’d have no idea which direction to head or where I’m going. I would not fare well out in the open sea, that’s for sure.

However, it seems like he’s a bit more comfortable out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean than many of us would be. The New York Post reports the content creator quit his job as a music teacher to sail solo around the Pacific Ocean on a 27-foot sailboat. He then documents his travels for his 1.5 million followers on social media.

It was all smooth sailing until roughly a month into his voyage when he became stuck out at sea. You’re dependent on the wind when you’re traveling in a sailboat and if there’s no wind, there’s no moving. However, it seems like he made the most out of the experience and kind of enjoyed it! How would you have reacted? Check out the viral video of the sailor stuck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean below!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

  • Dave's Other Job Offer

    Can you imagine Dave in any other job? It would definitely be interesting! Well, it could soon become a reality. Dave received an offer from an erotic novelist to record the audio versions of her books and although he considered it, he doesn’t think his wife or the company would approve of him taking it as a side gig. I would buy that audio book!

  • Dave's Got Drugs In His Pockets

    Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a guy who claimed the drugs in his pockets weren’t his and neither were the pants he was wearing. Dave then plays the song, ‘Drugs in my Pockets’ by The Monks but no one on the show has ever heard that song before. Turns out, the song isn’t bad! Well, at least as bad as Dave’s version of it. Check out BOTH versions above!

  • Dave's Plane Ass Incident

    Somehow, Dave always ends up in the most awkward situations. There’s one common denominator: himself. Dave was involved in an uncomfortable situation on an airplane over the weekend. He accidentally squirted hand sanitizer on a man’s ass that was standing in front of him and wanted to know if he handled the situation correctly.

  • Dave's Patio Furniture Update

    It’s the update we’ve been waiting for! Last year, Dave made a delivery mistake and sent outdoor patio furniture to people in Florida after meeting them one time. He shares an update after finding out the people kept the furniture for themselves and never said anything. Would you have done what Dave did? What would you have done in this situation?

  • Who Won't Stop Texting Dave?

    Technology has come a long way over the years. However, it still has a way to go. Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about an odd problem that Dave is experiencing involving his robot vacuum. It won’t stop texting him saying that it’s stuck, even when it’s not plugged in. Everyone says this is a problem only gadget man Dave would have to deal with.
