Great story bump.

Glad it didn't end like this:

Something about this story does not make sense. Sorry, I smell a fraud. NOBODY knew he was missing? Come on. 3 1/2 months adrift? Come on. Am I the only one who thinks this guy is, at the very least, exaggerating?

Yep...he is one tough, self-reliant old coot. No whining that his ordeal was somebody else's fault either.

He survived by catching fish, seabirds and turtles for food and collecting rainwater

Good thing he isn't a vegetarian . Just wait until PETA hears about this.

hmmmmm..... No radio, no cell phone, no "float plan", apparently nothing to signal anybody at all? Not even a flare gun? How about a simple mirror to flash at any boats on the horizon? This guy undoubtedly is a survivor, but I think he's also nearly a Darwin candidate.

All of Jean Claud's movies suck.

He deserves to be adrift at sea.
