Man sailing Pacific Ocean addresses question everyone is asking about his videos

The former school teacher had previously shared his location on Google Maps - which was just the ocean

If you've ever wondered how to get internet in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, then here's your answer.

Luke, who is an ex-middle school music teacher from Seattle, US, is currently sailing on the French Polynesia on a 27ft sailboat - as you do.

After sharing where his location is on Google Maps, it seems to have unlocked the internet's biggest fear and that's being completely alone in the middle of the ocean.

Luke, who goes as ‘sailing songbird’ on TikTok, has spent a month out at sea, and recently shared a video of him paddle-boarding for some ‘exercise’.

“I’m stuck here in the doldrums,” he said in the clip, adding: “There is no wind.”

However, others have wondered - just how is he getting internet in the middle of nowhere?

A fair question.

Under a recent video, one user asked: "If he can't use Starlink but does have access to a satellite phone, perhaps you could record his voice messages to share with all of us?

"Perhaps he could give us updates over the phone that could be posted here in audio form."

Naturally people began wondering how he maintains a internet connection (Getty stock image)

To which the TikToker replied: "Yep! Just text, and even with texting the connection isn't great and messages have to be short so they go through so it really is limited communication!"

Another user joked: "For those that keeps asking how he has internet, he is connected through the Starbucks wifi.

"Stop asking again."

As for how he gets his phone signal, however, Luke has a little dish on his boat.

Meanwhile, others were simply stunned with his paddle boarding video and were just grateful that he got back to his boat.

The idea of paddle-boarding with ‘absolutely nothing on the horizon’ proved too much for some viewers.

"I’m still having panic attacks from the paddle board video," one wrote.

In another video, he speaks about what it's like to sleep in such a small area.

The sailor then shows his bed getting tossed side to side, along with the boat.

“People want to know what it's like sleeping on a small sailboat in the middle of the pacific," he said.

“It’s night 18, sailing across the Pacific alone and when there’s high seas this is what it’s like to sleep.”

Luke then reminded viewers to be thankful of having a non-moving bed.

“I would pay a pretty penny for a flat bed right now, goodbye, wish me luck,” he added.
