I couldn't see any bones showing through. IDK, he's not the picture I had of what a man would look like after being through the ordeal of floating on the ocean for a year in all kinds of weather with little food or water. And how does one catch a seabird from a boat? I didn't realize there were that many birds flying near enough the ocean's surface in the middle of the ocean very far from land for a weak man to catch one frequently enough he lists it as a food source. Sounds fishy so far.
