I hear you buddy, I am in the same boat as you. I have been tipped out in the middle of the atlantic in bad weather (going through bankruptcy as well as W leaving)
I am doing what you do though, swimming for the shore but with an eye out for the rescue helicopter!
I keep thinking that I hear rotor blades (when W calls me), but then I realise that it's just the noise of the wind and waves.
I'll keep swimming though, my life is too valuable to give up and drown!.
