Do you REALLY want to blame Georgia for this?

He tried it AGAIN?

At some point, we should just let him go for it, right?

70 nautical miles off the coast? That's international waters right? So what the flying berkeley does the coast guard have to do with it at all? So what if it's "manifestly unsafe", whose he going to hurt other than himself? Not like he had 4 people with him going miles deep in the ocean in a plastic submarine...

I think we should let him try, but have a boat follow him with a documentary team onboard. Have him wear a POV camera and just record everything he says and does. I bet he taps out after a week or so. I'd watch that netflix show.

I say let him go.  When he's never heard from again you don't have a problem or paperwork, right?

Just needs RedBull sponsorship and I bet they'd send a Navy ship to run along side him...

He would probably show up somewhere eventually. That thing looks pretty well built.

Read the charges: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23937421-baluchi

upon the high seas outside the jurisdiction any particular state or district, in international waters, ... the defendant(s) violated: ... 18 U.S.C. §2237(a)(2)(A) Obstruction of a Boarding ... 46U.S.C. §70036(b)(1) Violation of a Captain of the Port Order

That sounds like getting arrested for resisting arrest. In international waters. That kinda rubs me the wrong way. If someone wants to walk across the ocean in a manifestly unsafe hamster wheel, that's their god given right.
