When a group of surfers in Coos Bay, Oregon saw a couple paddling a 10-12 foot boat out into the surf they watched waiting to see what would happen, according to a story on The World Link.
Surfer Larz Richardson was wading in the water waiting for a next wave set, when he saw the middle-aged couple paddle out toward the ocean in a small boat. . . When the waves hit, it knocked over the boat, estimated at 10 to 12 feet long, throwing the man and woman overboard. Neither had on a life-vest. . . Richardson paddled about 20 yards and pulled the woman out of the water. . . “She was underwater when I got to her,” 33-year-old Richardson said. “She barely avoided drowning. She got really lucky.”
Kind of makes us wonder what the couple was thinking. Surfers to the rescue once again.
