Man found clinging to boat more than 24 hours after being reported missing!
A 62 year old man, Stuart Bee, was reported missing over the weekend after his boat never returned back to port. Then more than two and a half days later he was rescued after being found clinging to his capsized boat. Stuart's boat, a 32 foot sea ray, developed engine problems about 86 miles of the coast of Florida. Then later that night, while he was sleeping, Stuart was awakened by water, his boat was sinking! Thankfully he was able to climb onto the sinking boat's bottom and ride it for over two days. Although the coast guard was searching for him, it was unable to locate him. A large container ship traveling from Central America to the East Coast of the USA spotted Stuart as he was waving his shirt. Rescue was at hand and he was safe. An amazing story with a happy ending!
