An amazing story. I remember the initial reports, and some skepticism. It appears true to me.

Ya, the name of his boat was the SS Minnow.
Psychologically, one hell of a trip. Don't know if I could do it as well as he did.

I had a link to the story in the UK's Guardian this morning but erased it after posting it elsewhere.
From everything I've read, this is a true story. The individual is loath to do interviews and wants nothing more than to live the life he did before.
