Pollution saves Jap
 

TOKYO (AFP) - A Japanese sailor who fell overboard without a life
jacket survived a night at sea clinging to an empty plastic bottle he
found drifting by, the coast guard said Thursday.

Tsuyoshi Kurosawa, a 28-year-old crewman on the 2,997-ton tanker
Sakura Maru, was lost at sea for 10 hours after he fell in the sea
late Tuesday while relieving himself over the side of the vessel.

"As an empty plastic bottle was floating by, he used it as buoyancy
until he was found," the coast guard said in a statement.

A fishing boat spotted him around 20 kilometres (12 miles) off the
coast of the northern city of Kamaishi.

He was hanging on to the bottle with one hand and waving the other,
the coast guard said.

He sustained no injuries but will be hospitalised for two to three
days due to his low body temperature.

"He was very lucky as the bottle happened to be there," a coastguard
spokesman said, adding the bottle was no bigger than three litres
(quarts).

Water temperatures were also higher than usual at around 18-19 degrees
Celsius (64-66 degrees Fahrenheit) at the time of the accident, he
said.

That's nothing. I once fell off a boat, and survived by hanging onto
seaweed. I weaved the seaweed into a raft, and used my shirt as a
sail. I sailed to Detroit, and was found after three weeks in a
casino, with thousands of dollars in Keno winnings.
