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?

Having put in some time out in the wacky Pacific... I don't have a hard time believing this one. The Pacific is a really, really big crick. The parts that are outside of the usual routes for shipping traffic are big chunks of water. You could drift out there for a really long time and not see anybody.
I watched a box of water about halfway between San Diego and Honolulu for 30 days one time... and we didn't even see the other ships that were supposed to be in the neighborhood.

You are not the only suspicious one. 3 1/2 months sailing the Pacific along the coast of CA, Mexico and Central America, and no other vessel comes in contact with him? I just have a feeling that shortly we will be reading that his story is a hoax.
