The U.S. Coast Guard on Wednesday afternoon rescued a man on a pool float who had drifted about a mile out into the gulf. The man, identified as Jerry Whipple, is "suspected of being extremely inebriated," said Petty Officer First Class Mariana O'Leary. "Depending on what the tides and currents are doing, he could have never been seen again." According to the Coast Guard spokeswoman, a Good Samaritan who was on his 22-foot recreational boat called in to report an unconscious man floating well offshore. When officials with the Coast Guard and a Clearwater Fire Rescue unit arrived about 12:20 p.m., they found the man unconscious on the float. He was wearing a life jacket. He later regained consciousness and was taken to paramedics waiting at Coast Guard Station Sand Key.
Dude is gonna have a brutal life jacket tan. Anyway, this has to be one of the best ways to go out. Just get totally lit all morning long, lay back and float off into the sunset. Too bad this pussy good Samaritan had to come outta nowhere and ruin the whole thing. If I came across this guy I would've just given him a Sparks and pushed him further out to sea.
