Yeah, I too watched that interview; he seemed very sincere and humbled by the experience. Considering the Gulf Stream is off the coast of Florida it doesn't surprise me at all that he was pushed north.

He wasn't "found" by searchers - after reaching shore he rested until he could walk and rang the doorbell on a house nearby to get help. So there should be plenty witnesses to talk to and ocean drift rates to calculate - and medical records if he releases them - if the press is skeptical.
