^ there are other critics, of course. I also told my wife about all those unrealistic things, and blatantly unprofesional behaviour, but it was still interesting compared to what you see mostly.
Some things are real though, as a single-handed sailor you have to eat, you have to sleep, you need some warm place, and if you have no auto steering you have to stay on deck and get the boat through the storm, just rigging a drift anchor will not suffice.
The slightest mistake will get you in big trouble. When he lost the mast which put anther leak in the boat, if on deck level, he was completely exhausted. Going down for sleeping in that state and the boat doing an unexpected move will probably make you bang your head at something.
Did you see it?
