It is sad that he posted a photo of his friend as himself... How do we know he even was on the boat... chances are likely that he's never stepped foot on a sailboat, and that the photo isn't even of his friend... but of a random stranger off the internet.
SimonV appears to have the courage of the French military and the honor of the Vichy government.
I'd say that Alex has won by default.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
