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....
