Faint praise. Still, so true. From the report:

This is the second time since leaving a New England port, bound for
Charleston, that Oger and the Gypsy Dane have required emergency
assistance.

According to published reports, on Saturday, Nov. 8, the USS Gonzalez,
a Navy missile destroyer based in Norfolk, Va., responded to a distress
call from the boat, adrift in 10-foot seas off the coast of Virginia.

So many catty remarks come to mind, but the reporter did it for me.

He went down stairs to make a sandwich and ended up on the beach. Prior
to then, he tangled his rudder with a line and drifted for days until
the CG figured it out for him & cleared it.

A guy who can buy a nice boat like that must have some real money. I
wonder at his arrogance that he won't hire a pro captain to instruct him
& assist in the journey. Pride goeth....

Well? Did he get off the beach?

dunno..... from the look of that boat; i would suspect not.
if he is lucky the storms will float him, if he is crazy he will be on
the boat ready to go when it does.
if he has a tug set an pik for him he may be able to pull his boat
off into better water with his anchor winch.
I am crazy so i would have a good pik set and be waiting for the storm.
