All good story tellers 'lie'. All your favorite comedians do, all your favorite non-fiction authors do. Given their ineptitude at sailing I also think their storytelling is also quite awful. But still I don't see why their basic premise isn't true, 5 months at sea without the skill set or common sense to get home. I don't get the skepticism on this story but so many other stories are clearly in doubt on HN. Is it because the media is accepting of this skepticism? I mean this story is only reinforcing what the media already has said. Nothing in particular in this article shows the basic story isn't true. They were to silly to know it wasn't sharks attacking with a bit of exaggeration thrown in?
