You should've said all this in the first place. Just asking 'why?' without specifying is pretty condescending.

3) Then he sounds all heroic in fending off predators and surviving the ordeal.
Seriously, to me, it isn't condescending at all to ask why.. if nothing else it is condescending to set off on a personal goal setting trip and expecting others to save him if he wasn't successful.

We have another thread slamming someone for asking the government to pay for something of hers, yet we don't bat an eye at someone such as this gent that just sets off, doesn't plan for shit, and in the end costs one taxpaying body or another direct costs because of his personal little goal. Especially something as high risk as crossing a sea on a wind board...
