What kind of moron doubts his story?

Well, lots of morons like myself raised an eyebrow when we saw 16 hours. I've scuba dived in comparatively temperate water in a neoprene suit and began to feel my body cooling in far less time. Being a big guy his body would fatigue and cramp fast, the body chills would make things compound. This is a complete miracle if it was 16 hours.

People can do some crazy things when they are fighting for survival.
