good thing you stumbled across him first.
Imagine if he was sailing along, on his round the world tour about to complete his journey, when suddenly a black swan comes rushing out of the rising sun... guns blazing!
Or he is rounding dover and spots two low flying hurricaines "Oh look those tommies are giving me a bit of a low pass for good luck... news of my Journey must have easily spread to the Brits by now!"
RAT TAT TAT TAT TAT TAT !!!
i could see his log entry
"17 May 1940
Nearing the end of my Journey, the old yacht has held up well despite being attacked by a pair of british hurricaines and charged by what appeared to be a British Destroyer.
the main mast was almost a total loss, but i managed some quick repairs... the bullet holes in my sails are patched with my dirty underwear... which there are no shortage of on board now i can assure you!
I should hope to be nearing Germany within a few days time, immediately upon entering port i shall enlist in the u-boat service and have my revenge!
Signed,
Yacht Capt. Bernard!"
