Pretty amazing -- rescued after three months adrift in the Pacific Ocean, 1200 miles from land.

He obviously has pretty impressive survival chops. And probably won't go back to sea without three PLBs.

And this thread is also adrift, it seems. So it goes.

Seems there is some skepticism about this story.

He has/had a raw food company, claims raw food cured his cancer.

Skepticism is always wise. Though the raw food claim and the adrift-at-sea event may be two unrelated items.

We'll see if the story can be verified. Frankly it would be a pretty expensive publicity stunt to tow a catamaran 1200 miles from land and then claim to be adrift.
