Luffy really takes to the sea

It's certain his personal blogthat the actor shared a particular training regime aimed at a very specific goal: become a better hacker. It is with this in mind that Iñaki Godoy boarded a boat to 80 days on the open sea, to fully immerse yourself in the life of a sailor. He also took the opportunity to share the said experience with his fans, telling them his every thought.

Before coming here, I never realized how many things were needed to take care of a ship and how limited resources could be. I started to appreciate things I didn't really think about at home, like having cool water at any temperature whenever I needed it. – Iñaki Godoy (personal blog)

He also explains that he had a little difficulty getting used to the experience since, by his own admission, “Unlike being on a movie set, sailing was a completely new world for me, and most of the time I felt like I had no idea what I was doing”. But despite his few blunders, his trip was, according to him, extremely productive and allowed him to truly understand how a boat works. He even adds that he has coped with seasickness rather well despite his little maritime experience and claims to have become a much better sailor.
