And even if it wasnt illegal, im sure a cargo ship would have the decency to stop to get him. Maybe he was halucinating them waving to him, or he's just making it up.

      He was probably thinking how silly people's problems actually are. Like, he was in pure survival mode, and those people were more worried about getting some cash to cope with the loss of their familymember than actual problems. I don't think he would've minded it that much, because it's so much more superficial than the last year he spent on sea.

    There are people who survived way longer than this but died at the end. The worse thing that can happen to you while stranded in the ocean is that there is no wind at all. You will be stuck at where ever you are and remain there. This man at least had a decent boat although small size and had someone with him although he gave up or couldn't continue any further. I watched steven callahans survival in the ocean his boat sunk and he had one of those orange small plastic emergency tent which lasts up to 4 weeks, was blown by a fish, his spear got also broken by a huge fish, he got multiple occasions with sharks he got salt sickness because of too much contact with ocean water his skin fell off and he had more than 100 open wounds what that man went through in 75 days is crazy. Records are always about the longest or biggest which doesn't make any sense to me. When it comes to hardship, yeah those people who survived for years, who knows what they went through...
