I knew something was up when I saw the Hercules flying over at 7:30 am. Usually the final result is not so good.

One lucky guy and a pretty good swimmer.

Glad he is O.K. but sure makes a case for the PFD, especially when boating alone !!!!

He wasn't on a small boat either. I read in the local paper that it was a 26' sailboat.

In 40 - 50 degree water. That's a heck of a swim.

You think maybe he'll wear his PFD next time?
