We recently posted about Max Young, who was close to completing a twelve year circumnavigation on his 50′ sailboat, Reflections, when it was struck by a whale. The sailboat was severely damaged by the impact and began sinking. Max was rescued by the Ocean Virgo, a Panamanian-flagged merchant ship. He recently returned home to Sacramento and had a few comments about his ordeal.
