First off, I haven't seen the movie and have no clue. I doubt it will
make the theaters here, but if it does they'll rename it "El Hombre
Viejo Y La Mar." <G>
I do question your wife's comment that maybe he was out there sailing
alone because he couldn't deal with his life's problems. Could be right,
who knows, I haven't seen the movie.
Humph. I like sailing alone. Um, here's an original quote: 'It's kind
of a special feeling, when you're out on the sea alone...' <BG>
But I would say that an experienced singlehander actually thinks 10
steps ahead before making a move. And they tend to have well maintained
boats because they know that if everything goes south other folks will
sniff and say 'Oh. A singlehander. If he'd had crew he wouldn't have
lost the boat.'

But my wife had a little different take on things. Since it seemed to be pretty
clear from the opening of the movie that he was a bit of wreck in real life it
might stand to reason that what you saw in his responses to problems may have
been how he approached many of his problems in life and maybe why he was out
there alone.
