What didn't you hear the reporter "He's a pretty good floater" Let's pray he don't have to use his floating skills.Wait if the boat is in danger he's going to jump in the water and swim to shore????? Another future Darwin Award candidate.
Along with D A !!!Some pretty stupid people out there in the storm, Stupid is as Stupid Does.
Be sure to write your name, SS number and address on your chest in magic marker so your body can be identified.
You were told to leave, now with no water rescue you will just die.
Good Luck
I dunno, other than saying Jacksonville, NC we don't know exactly where he is. If he's 20 miles up the river from the coast maybe it isn't so crazy.
the problem with people like this, is that they endanger rescue workers when their little adventure turns sour.
But isn’t only “Cat1”?Slow news day since Florence ran out of gas.
There is no safe place for a recreational boat in a CAT 4-5 hurricane. Even the US Navy put their ships to sea out of Norfolk to avoid the storm surge and winds.
The guy is a Tour Boat operator (with a nice Sea Ray) and has been through multiple hurricanes. It's not what I would do but it is his boat and life.
The "storm of your lifetime" that the media proclaimed would hit land as a Cat 4 or 5, made land today as a CAT 1. It is now a 70mph tropical storm.Slow news day since Florence ran out of gas.
