Florida Man Treads Water for 20 Hours!!

#1 Post by Lindsay Writer »

This guy did it he's 61 years old so I guess this is the new world record. And he's a Navy veteran!

He came home from the sea with the help of the Coast Guard they went out to look for him after 12 hours and found him after 20:

And here's an interview with him he's a real life hero he's great:

I'm guessing that if he did, they wouldn't have found him...

Incredible!

My first thought seeing the headline was that it was done to set a record, not to save his life. Very Magnum, impressive!
