Who is the person that recognized Aleksey Nazarov's boat, Crazy Love?

From the available content, the person who recognized Crazy Love is only described as “a guy” who rowed up to the boat and asked if it was Crazy Love from Santa Barbara. His name or identity is not given.

So all that is known is that he was someone passing by in a small boat who recognized Crazy Love by name and home port.

Is there another detail about that encounter you are curious about?
