79 Yr Old Missing Naperville boater rescued - (Real Life Senior Gilligan)

Sure looks that way as this local boater here decided to set out on a little 3 hour cruise of his own  he wasn't ready for as I guess (man is 79 years old btw) his compass apparently wasn't working too well when he decided to pick up his girlfriend and ended up sailing in the wrong direction becoming stranded on a remote desert island in the Bahama's.

Seriously, No sh** !

Fortunately he was found safely, and maybe next time he should bring along the Skipper and Maryanne along with a better compass huh?.

Does he look like Gilligan on the senior cruise with that goofy hat or what? lol

So, you can see we were left with no choice,

and HAD to do this....


Missing Naperville boater rescued

chicagotribune.com: "A Naperville boater who was missing for several days was found safe Monday afternoon on an uninhabited island in the Bahamas, said his son, who received a cell phone call from his father aboard the fishing boat that rescued him.

Richard McClow, 79, was traveling alone on his 23-foot motorized boat from Fort Pierce, Fla., to Marsh Harbor in the Bahamas to meet his girlfriend when he suddenly went in the wrong direction and ran aground on the remote island, the avid boater told his son by phone, adding that the waves flipped the boat and destroyed it on rocks off the coast of the island."  continued
