Miracle Rescue: Man Overboard During Storm Survives
Chesapeake Bay sailor, Mark Wheeler, went overboard in pitch darkness and a 40-knot squall. This is the remarkable story of how his friends got him back.
Wheeler went overboard a few minutes before midnight. He was in the middle of Lake Michigan, 30 miles offshore in 40 knots of wind. As he fumbled for the lanyard to inflate his lifejacket he watched his racing sailboat, Meridian X, disappear into the night at more than 18 knots.
SpinSheet covered this amazing story in 2017. Many thanks to Jeffrey Moag and the U.S. Coast Guard for this insightful video and recap.
