This is the best summary I could come up with:

The key problem is his vessel: a giant floating hamster wheel made of buoys and wire, self-propelled by Baluchi running inside.

Baluchi, who lives in Florida after being granted asylum from Iran, was taken in by the Coast Guard last week aboard his vessel, following several days of back and forth with the authorities.

The following day, a second Coast Guard cutter, named Campbell, arrived and sent a small boat to Baluchi to deliver food, water and word that the hurricane was expected.

He was also the focus of a short documentary from VICE about Baluchi’s 2014 and 2016 attempts to travel from Boca Raton, Fla., to Bermuda — a distance of more than 1,000 miles — by running inside his homemade floating bubble.

“We referred to it as the hamster wheel of doom,” Coggeshall remembered, adding that temperatures could get up to 120 degrees inside the bubble, and that Baluchi was more likely to get pushed to England or swept into a swirling eddy in the middle of the Atlantic than make it from Florida to Bermuda.

“A day or two later, a cold front knocked the bubble on his side, so [Baluchi] set off what’s called a spot device,” and the Coast Guard went and rescued him.
