I don't know either but he must have been well provided for if he could be out in the drink for 60 days and look as healthy as he does/is..

Yesterday, the reporter interviewing him commented on lack of sunburn or any other
visible sign of hardship. The guy looked like he'd just come out of a beauty parlor.

Apparently he learned how to catch fish and collect rain water. He
was capsized several times, dismasted, and broke his shoulder. The
interior of the boat was intact so he was able to avoid sunburn, or so
the story goes.

They showed before and after pictures of him. He's lost about 30 lbs.

I think he was just resourceful and lucky.

Good question, don't know but I suspect yes, especially if you've had
good nutrition previously. Or maybe he just saved up limes from his
margaritas? :-)

Also, we don't know what he had on board when he left.

I read someplace that his boat was an Alberg 35 which is a built like
a Sherman tank.
