Florida Kayaker Rescued by Another Boater. The dramatic moment was captured on video.
Davey Wright, is a Port St. Lucie resident, and a Veteran Airborne Ranger. Recently, he went kayaking to fish and unwind, but as his kayak began to take on water, danger ensued.
It was three and a half hours from land and during his nightmare scenario, he had to spend HOURS alone treading water.
According to a Fox News Interview, Davey Wright said: “The kayak starts getting heavy, and within minutes I am sitting in water. It just sunk like a rock.”
“I’d yell, but it was hard to tell how close they [the boat lights] were. There were times when I thought I could swim. But there was feeding going on all around me, and I was not sure if I could get to land.”
He struggled in the water and tried to float. Luckily he was found and rescued by another boater.

Turkish Coast Guard Intercepts Migrants Bound For Greece
ShareBODRUM, TURKEY - NOVEMBER 15: Migrants and refugees are seen on an inflatable boat during a rescue operation by the Turkish Coast Guard on the Aegean sea between Turkish resort town of Bodrum and the Greek island of Kos on November 15, 2019 in Bodrum, Turkey. Turkish officials reported over two-fold jump for illegal migrants and refugees compared to last year attempting the dangerous sea crossing from Turkey to Greece. 53,314 migrants and refugees were intercepted in the Aegean Sea by the Turkish Coast Guard's units since January. More than 3.6 million Syrian refugees have settled in Turkey after fleeing the civil war that began in 2011. Ankara has, this week, accelerated a push to deport suspected foreign Isis fighters held in prison to their respective countries, a move that dovetails with Donald Trump’s demands that European countries take back and try militants caught in the battlefields of Syria and Iraq.
