That's sad. Maybe I was raised better than he was, but I'd have given my wife my wetsuit. And a better chance at surviving. We have custom made wetsuits, with our physiques there was no other choice. She bought a shorty wetsuit that zips in the front off the rack. It's more of a fashion statement because she cant zip it closed past well below her solar plexus. We took the customs as well as survival suits on a short trip of two weeks once. This raised some eyebrows but we told them that we intended to survive at all costs. And that if they felt safe with their life raft and it's meager supplies then more power to them, but we were taking everything we could if we had to abandon ship. We didn't take them on either trip and I have no intention of taking them on this one, but somewhere I have some old survival/shark sacks from the 1970's. Not sure if anyone is familiar with them or not. I doubt they would even work after all these decades.

On that subject I saw a pic of the fisherman who claimed he had drifted for over a year today on MSN.
I have my doubts. He was found in Feb, and I doubt he had a years worth of food on his boat. Admittedly I know very little of this story, but he seems awfully... well padded for being out there so long. His face and hands are fat and I just don't see that happening while floating around or since being found. I may be wrong. Anyone have any opinions on the matter?
