GregL Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Very lucky! Just the reason to wear that cut out switch when boating alone. G
ray henry Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 very strange why would he not stay with his boat , if he was strong enouth to swim to shore one would think he could climb back into his boat ?
Fisherman36 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 And just today I went out and bought a PLB with GPS for this very reason as I always go out alone. Then on the way home I heard about this guy on the news. Lucky he's a good swimmer. Hopefully I will never have to use it, but I guess its better to have it than have to swim for hours. Having an epirb on the boat is good as well, but it isnt much help if the boat goes one way and you go the other!
t3zza Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 A remarkable effort after being in the water for such a long time. I really must stop reading the comments section for news articles though.
