This guy would have died if he managed to get off shore enough to be past anybody noticing him. He'd be blown along by the winds mostly, being so high and light.

Check out "Naufragé volontaire : Sans vivres sur l'Atlantique" by Alain Bombard[0] if you want to read what a crossing on a small vessel entails.
