But on the second day, it wasnt fun at all.

The young man spent three days on the trampoline without food or drinking water,exposed to 40C heat.

At some point I saw a ship far away, Mr Doroshenko told Komsovolskaya Pravda. I started waving and shouting, but they didnt see me. Then another yacht passed by without noticing me. At times, I was feeling really desperate.
