His theory of drinking sea water is that if you drink less than a liter a day, the salt content is low enough that your kidneys can handle it. He sets off from France in a tiny rubber dinghy, with a sail, with the goal of crossing the Atlantic and reaching the Caribbean.
And that you can catch fish in areas of the Atlantic that fishermen told him contained no fish.
In particular, he wants to show that you can drink sea water and survive, contrary to what conventional wisdom says. Bombard is a French doctor in the 1950s who decides that he would like to prove that you can survive for a substantial period of time in a life raft. I just finished The Voyage of the Heretique, by Alain Bombard.
