This old man is the luckiest man alive. He was heading from the port of Long Beach to Santa Catalina Island, a 26-mile trip, when the mast of his boat broke. Adding insult to injury, the outboard motor and the two-way radio failed. He was lost at sea for over 3 months, he lost 40 pounds, but survived consuming rainwater, sea turtles and seagulls. Homeboy was roasting a gull when they found him. |

When you run into a storm, and are blown off course, and the mast has snapped, and your radio’s out, don’t you have flares or something to attract rescuers? This has me so boggled that I wrote a run-on sentence…
