Man Rescued After 13 Hours at Sea | Long Beach News

A 53-year-old Long Beach man vanished into the Pacific after his personal watercraft went down Sunday night, sparking a massive 13-hour rescue effort involving fire, Coast Guard, and police. Just hours later, a woman was pulled from the water near the breakwater—thankfully stable—and the missing man’s craft was found, but he was still missing. At 10:45 AM Monday, a Coast Guard helicopter spotted him two and a half miles offshore near Seal Beach Pier. A rescue swimmer saved him, he was airlifted to shore, treated for hypothermia, and is now in stable condition. Police had issued a missing person alert but kept details about his risk level vague. A heart-stopping tale of survival against the odds. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
