Would love to know the real story...if this guy had a nice pension from a company or agency in France and they left him out to dry as sometimes happens...
You go from being an affluent cruiser to bottom feeder pretty quick.
With all the talk of military pensions on the chopping block...not sure where I would wind up "in the cruising community" if my pension dried up overnight.
Funny what survival instinct will do to a person....I just hope my morals are never tested to the basic instinct level....and he has a wife to worry about.
Can't necessarily forgive his actions...but maybe they become a lot more understandable with all the facts out in the open.
