I don't know either but he must have been well provided for if he could be out in the drink for 60 days and look as healthy as he does/is..

Apparently he learned how to catch fish and collect rain water. He
was capsized several times, dismasted, and broke his shoulder. The
interior of the boat was intact so he was able to avoid sunburn, or so
the story goes.
Can you go 60+ days living on fish and not be effeccted by scurvy?

Good question, don't know but I suspect yes, especially if you've had
good nutrition previously. Or maybe he just saved up limes from his
margaritas? :-)
Also, we don't know what he had on board when he left.
I read someplace that his boat was an Alberg 35 which is a built like
a Sherman tank.
