Missing Florida Boater Found Clinging To Capsized Vessel 86 Miles Offshore

Sixty-two-year-old Stuart Bee was stranded alone at sea Sunday morning roughly 86 miles east of Port Canaveral.Crew members aboard a container ship spotted Bee and pulled him out of the water.

USA Today reported:

"Bee departed Cape Marina at Port Canaveral about 4 p.m. Friday aboard Stingray, his 32-foot Sea Ray. He was reported missing shortly before noon Saturday by a marina member who told Coast Guard officials that Bee typically does not stay out overnight on his boat.
Bee's boat became disabled at sea because of a mechanical problem, Micallef said. About midnight Saturday, Bee was awakened because his crippled craft was taking on water in the darkness.
When the Angeles approached Sunday morning, Bee took off his shirt and waved it to attract attention, Micallef said.
U.S. Coast Guard personnel, including a C-130 Hercules aircraft crew based in Clearwater, had searched for Bee and his boat early Sunday."
