As are those of us who are powerboaters and used to homeschool;) Keep

Why doesn't the CG enforce the laws requiring you to "keep a sharp lookout
at all times" and stop these insane thrill seekers, so they don't have to
look for them later?

The CG has no jurisdiction outside the 200nm zone I think ;-)
Most of those single-handed types just get lucky. A few disappear
without a trace though. I guess that one part of getting lucky is
carrying a good radar reflector and encountering freighter crews that do
keep that 24h sharp lookout...

Why do you think he is "insane"?
Is it because he is following his dream, a goal he set for himself ?
Could it be that you hate the fact that he is able to cast off on a
voyage of discovery, that he is living his dream, and you are not?
Like Wilbur I suspect you will never do anything for fear of
failure.
This young man will helm his vessel with hope in his mind, leaving
fear in his wake.
Security at sea, is denial of life to a sailor.

He'll fail. I doubt he manages even a single ocean crossing. As for actually
completing a circumnavigation; there ain't a snowball's chance of hell of
that ever happening. When will they ever learn that a circumnavigation is
not something to trifle with?

They think differently if you're flying a USA flag, and they've got
guns. :)
As to the other, well, I'd rather bump into a small, slow moving,
plastic boat that wasn't keeping a proper watch than a huge, fast
moving, steel one. I much prefer sailing with two and am obsessive
about watch keeping. Still, I don't think he's putting anyone in
danger save himself. I wish him well.
