Hello cramped back after weeks of sleeping in that thing.

Some people do some really stupid shit to get attention.

That almost doesn't look big enough to lay down and sleep in.

I’d imagine it’d feel really bad in all areas of the ocean, not just straits.

You're my kind of people Jessica

Legitimately unreal. With your head popping up that little bubble?

The caption to that photo is

Andrew Bedwell said it is "quite comfortable" inside the vessel

I couldn’t even nap in that thing without major problems.

3 months in that thing unable to lay down.

But, why?...

GREAT CANADIAN MEAT
