Give the guy a break, Slocum had a few bad experiences too, and they weren't

It is my firm belief that, when his time came, he was taken up to
heaven and instituted as the patron saint of solo sailors.

I have prayed to him in my time of need and sacrificed a can of
chicken sausages and he helped me survive very bad weather.

That's all the proof I need.

Either that or he landed on some tropical shore, met a nubile young
thing and decided to just tie his hammock to the palm tree and stay
right there. No more of this stupid sailing.
