Breaking 911:
In a remarkable tale of survival, a 63-year-old man found himself treading water in the Atlantic Ocean off New York’s Long Island for approximately five hours on Monday. Dan Ho was swept out to sea after going swimming around 5 a.m., officials said.
During the challenging hours, Ho managed to create a makeshift flag using a broken fishing pole and his shirt, waving it in the air to draw attention to passing boaters. About 2 1/2 miles south of the beach where Ho had entered the water, two fishermen, Jim Hohorst and Michael Ross, were out on a fishing trip. Initially, they mistook Ho for a lobster buoy, but upon closer inspection, they realized it was a person in distress. more here

Ho Lee Clap!
Was he a chef by any chance?
What I haven’t seen mentioned in the media is that the area where he entered the water is noted for being the major outflow for the water in Great South Bay as the tide ebbs. I find it unbelievable that he’s been swimming in that area for several years and has never noticed the tremendous current sweeping between Democrat Point of Robert Moses State Park and Sour Thumb Beach of Gilgo State Park; it’s very well-known to locals who fish and swim in the area.
Gerhardt, maybe he was a local who fished and swam in the area…
