Pro  9391     Omaha, NE |  Subject: Now here's an IrondadMd. Man Swims 5 Hours To Save His Family After Their Boat Capsized Give this guy a medal. I suspect he didn't do much training for the five hour swim either.

Champion 10668 Tacoma, Washington | Subject: RE: Now here's an Irondad The ST thread says 3 miles. Which makes it sound like "not such an awesome feat" until you consider that this guy is likely NOT a trained swimmer, in ocean currents and waves, at night, no goggles, fully clothed (though he smartly ditched his shoes), no marked course... |

Champion 8766 Evergreen, Colorado | Subject: RE: Now here's an Irondad Pretty cool! One of these days my talents might come in handy.... I decided a long time ago if I ever ejected over water and could SEE land there was no way I was staying put...I was going to swim for shore! |
