Good story of sailor surviving recent northeaster
This is a good navigation problem. I estimate
the boat is presently near the fixed ocean buoy
ODAS 44004. Roughly 80 miles south of its
last known position.
If it were closer to shore, I'd try to go get it.

I haven't been able to find any news about the boat. If anyone knows, I
would appreciate knowing if she was recovered.
I hope to be sailing like this when I'm this fellow's age although I'll
try to do a better job of weather forecasting.
The boat is an aluminum Colvin design. The main problem, aside from
fatigue and exposure, appears to have been the lee shore of Race Point,
Cape Cod, 22 miles away.
