[Public-List] Boat named ANGEL

[Ronald Walker via Public-List]

This smells a little fishy. Set sail out of Virginia in January to go fishing??? How long had his boat been capsized. Survived by catching fish and collecting  rainwater? There is more to this story.

 If I were a betting man, I'd bet that as this unfolds, a story other than 66
days adrift may come out.

I just watched the fellow's interview again.  I feel self conscious about
saying this, but I think there's something little odd about this story....

They're also saying it's a 1950's vintage boat, but the photo was clearly of
an A30 (I think).

The survivor looked very plump and pale... I know what I look like after a
short trip...like I said, I feel a little odd saying these things, but he
didn't look like someone who'd been fighting exposure and eating light for
two months...

If it is true, it's truly a very remarkable story.  I'll be interested in
learning if any of our American cousins know this boat...
