Captain of Hurricane-Beached Boat Demands Cash for New One

[Fossil]

Backstory: On the eve of the arrival of Hurricane Irene, Michael Calabrese left a sheltered marina and sailed his 42' Hunter into open, unprotected waters. Then only 1000 feet from shore (and a row of jagged rock jetties), with the storm roaring up the coast , he decides to anchor and...go to bed.

Now he is on https://www.facebook.com/groups/208804435845259/ facebook demanding money for a new boat and stating that "soon another boat to sail, and I can sail it faster than anyone, i know how to trim sails, I'm not bragging, just sayen, I'm an extraordinary individual,".

p.s He has posted his bank account routing details to make it easy for the cash to flow in.
