Does anyone know the real story on this? Was he f.o.s.?

What about your insurance company, what do THEY think? That's where
you are most likely to get in trouble first. Your co called friends
will be calling lawyers very quickly if there is any kind of mishap
onboard. It is unlikely in my opinion, that your insurance company
will provide charter coverage without a licensed captain.
