His full name is Michael Richard Smith. The AP interviewed him in 2012.

Looks like he ditched the life jacket the Coast Guard gave him. Just a matter of time when he becomes a pile of hamburg and aluminum floating behind one of the high speed catamarans.

Actually, a whole bunch of his stuff got stolen, including the 14' canoe he had in 2012 when the AP article was written. I didn't know him then, but I've never seen him scream at someone.
Take some time and talk to him. He's a person just like the rest of us.
