He...... becoming conscious of the fact that it was bitter for a moment and then relapsing into a blue ache which ate him from the mop of his salt-encrusted hair to his cracked feet.
試譯：
他漸漸意識到一陣寒冷，接著又回復到一陣藍色的疼痛，將他從髮上結滿鹽粒的頭部到裂開的雙腳完全吞沒。
覺得翻得不太滿意，又沒有更好的譯法。指教。

Just a suggestion.
( I think it's better to preserve the imagery of the color, since it is the only visible color in immensity when one is looking up in a drifting lifeboat.)

灰灰苦闷
。。。心情又回复到之前的灰灰苦闷中。。。
