If you've ever been in a storm with big seas in a small (30' and under) sailboat, you know how fragile you really are. His ending up in C. America wasn't his doing.

The guy survived a major ordeal and did it with more than a bit of pluck.

 

Your armchair judgements show a bit of ignorance.

I've been in some big seas, particularly in the Channel which can be real rough and unpredictable. Certainly sh!# can happen to anybody, but if you or your equipment is not up to the task, well, you might find your "3 hour tour" turning into a 3 month drift.

 

All aboard Gilligan.
