In October 2014, Baluchi set out for his first Bermuda Triangle voyage -- 1,000 miles to Bermuda, another 1,000 miles to Puerto Rico and then 1,000 miles back to his starting point in Florida. Three days in, the Coast Guard had to airlift him from his inflatable vessel about 70 miles from St. Augustine, Fla., after someone called about a disoriented man in a bubble who was near the Miami coast, asking how to get to Bermuda.
