I haven't watched all his videos especially the more recent ones but there have definitely been some wtf moments for me too. And yeah he's not ignorant at all it's pretty funny to watch him verbally run through an accurate & extremely alarming assessment of the dangers of something and then go like eh it'll probably be fine.

"Well we're going to take an unplotted shortcut here through the uh, <<checking notes>> graveyard of the atlantic, according to the charts it's 7 feet deep and we have a 6.5 foot draft so fingers crossed the charts are up to date" type shit.

IIRC he has some very serious chronic health stuff and that may have something to do with it. I don't love the risky sails when he has a passenger though. But also who the fuck am I, a weekend lake sailor, to judge. At this point he's got to be among the most experienced solo sailors on the planet. I feel a similar way about slocum or the pardeys and they are more his peers than I am.
