It is reported at the end of the CBS story that he had no gash. Seems like
the gash story was something his family dreamed up.

With masts broken off, steering gone,

Plus... I believe that I read somewhere that he had a gash
in his thigh.

Course... like a lot of others... I sure will be interested in
reading his account of what led up to the demise of his vessel.

Just maybe... his alleged injury ocurred at or just prior to the
time of his having to deal with a severe weather situation.

Best regards
