Sorry, Mark, I guess when you are drifting out in the Gulf Stream you don't want to run down your cell phone battery on chit-chat. He just gave me his coordinates and his cell phone number, and that was it.

It's still hard for me to believe he was six miles offshore, so maybe it will turn out that is wrong. But at least his cell phone worked out on the water -- on shore in that area of the Keys most cell phones don't work at all.
