Hey Ebone,
Thanks for relating Philthy's story. He had a feeling, acted on it for effect and as you said he paid attention in the first place. That was one VERY lucky man. I suspect he would have been lost if not for Philthy bringing about the rescue.
Could you point out and post the link to the approximate area that all this happened on at:

You can right click on "link to this page" in the upper right portion of the page for the address of the Sat. image.
Also, would you have a shot or two of Phil in action on or near the water. Something from the launch area in Sarasota would be great.
Way to Go Philthy!
