I don’t mean this as snarky, but maybe someone here can answer this for me. He lost his electronics in a storm. He was on a sailboat that still had a mast. From the videos I have seen there were some tarps (and maybe sails) still on board. He knew he was Southwest of the continent because that is the direction he was traveling when the storm rolled up. Why not use the sun for direction, hang up what he had to catch wind, and sail roughly North East until he hit land? There is no way he could have missed all of the Americas from where he was at.
