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.. |

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. |

Gun owner behavior causes problems. They showed before and after pictures of him. He's lost about 30 lbs. I think he was just resourceful and lucky. |

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. |
