Wow. 😩 15 hours....That is an unbelievable eternity when you're alone in the ocean treading water for dear life.
The will to survive is somethin' else. I hope if I ever need it, it's as strong for me as I see in other people. 🙏

That’s a nightmare you don’t know what’s below you and your alone in the water also it pitch black that what make it more scarier

Definitely wasn't his time to go. Considering the dangers he faced in those 15 hours & then being seen & rescued, I'd say God was with him.

No way in hell I could’ve lasted that long in the water. Being in the sea like that is my worst nightmare

Needle in a hay stack recovery. BZ Coasties. And to the victim for staying afloat for so long.

He was super waisted the coldness side did took him for a bigger buzzing

Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for free

[bodidley]

Maybe the coasties or the navy need to recruit him to teach drownproofing.
