RE: The Single-Handed Sailor makes the news again
Does he have a job or is it just the sponsorship's that get him by? I guess sailing around the world wouldn't be the first thing I though of doing if I had just spent every penny I had on medical expenses. That is awesome that he is able to do it though. Don't get me wrong, I don't question the awesomeness of his motivation and strength of will, I just wonder about the fiscal implications. I don't think I could do what he did if I were in the same position!
he doesn't have another job that I am aware of. He has sponsors and what not. I would imagine at the end of all this he will write a book. Of course he is probably entitled to some sort of disability as well. I never asked him the details of it all because, well, i guess i thought it would be kind of mean.
That makes sense.
