Be grateful to gambling and casinos. They could save your life someday.
Bet you didn’t know that.
Well, the story starts like this. There’s a fisherman whose name is Olin Kennedy and he was fishing off Cape Canaveral. All was going well, he was fishing, grabbing some fish and just chilling out on the waters of the Cape.
He decides to take his boat out a little farther – 12 miles off the coast. He’s feeling good, nice breeze, chilling on his 24-foot boat and he goes to grab a fishing rod. The boat is in motion and is in gear. He misjudges the rod, loses his footing on the moving boat, and…
SPLASH!
Olin’s in the water! And he doesn’t have a kill switch to kill the boat’s engine so the boat just flies off without him!
So he starts treading water. And treading water. And treading water some more.
He treads water for MORE THAN FOUR HOURS. Can you imagine having to tread water for more than 4 hours? That’s 240 minutes for you math whizzes out there. I can’t even tread water – no joke. I can swim, but I can’t tread. Don’t blame me, my swimming instructor when I was taking lessons at 8 years old was a moron that didn’t want to get his hair wet. What a pansy he was.
Well, this dude is treading and treading. So he does what anyone in his situation would do. He takes off his pants. Obviously.
The reason he takes his pants (khaki-colored in case you were wondering) off is to signal, by waving them around and hoping someone would see him.
Lady luck comes in the form of the Ambassador II, a casino cruise ship.
“Oh bleep!” was what Olin Kennedy said was going in his mind when he fell in the water and saw his boat leave without him. “Then I said a prayer, and my prayer was answered by Carlos Navarro, who’s a hand on the ship. He spotted me. After being in the water for four hours, things were getting a little dreary.”
Olin Kennedy, the pants-less casino-saved fisherman is perfectly fine with no injuries. But the boat has still not been found. So if any of you guys see a boat rolling around Cape Canaveral without an owner, let us know.
