That doesn’t happen. He needs to go buy a lottery ticket and always take someone with him when going offshore. Guy is lucky!

You’d think he could afford an auto-tether.

It’s crazy for sure.

Reminds me of the NFL players that died a few years back in the gulf that could have been saved by just having an EPIRB.

Glad he made it.

I will say one thing for him! He must have stayed in shape! That’s a long swim.

That’s a heck of a swim in ocean conditions. Amazing. He doesn’t earn many points for brains, but many for stamina. Dang.

Great Catch OFM:smiley:

Double post

Did they find the boat? Sounds like a good way to ditch a 36’ boat…fill her up with gas and set a course for Bermuda. Fishing alone? 9 miles? Sounds fishy to me.

Story didn’t say if he was wearing a PDF or not:question:
