I've seen a few mummified sailors during my years of boating but they always seemed to make it to work on Monday.

At least now his family will have some closure. He is no longer lost at sea & missing.

It all depends on the embalming fluid you use, I think.

Was the last line of the note “Salty Dog, a seaman’s log, your witness, my own hand”?

Damn, that’s sad... passing alone while writing a note to his deceased wife...
RIP.

.....And the rest of the story....
We're from the government and we're here to help you.
Seems as if the USCG was notified on January 31, it was *rediscovered* February 25 by the Philipinno fishermen
"Clipper Race Director Justin Taylor also notified the German Embassy in London, who informed the German Police and Coast Guard. They were then able to trace the sailor’s next of kin via the boat registration details provided by the team.
After liaising with the US Coast Guard in Guam, the team was instructed to carry on racing as it could provide no further assistance and USCG Guam took over the investigation."
I believe, in military parlance, it's called a SNAFU
