A fellow floating on a cooler gets rescued. Looks like a fairly sizeable cooler, and he was wearing a life jacket. Not certain if the emergency beacon mentioned was his personal item, or one that came with the boat. Regardless, a lucky fellow.

That's the second story seen recently where a cooler was used.

The previous story it contained the crew's water & food.

Seems quite a valuable item on a boat in emergency.

Or bring your own plastic bucket with a tight fitting lid on next time you go boating. A great floating device.

Yeah, blue barrels or curtec daren drums standard equipment in canoeing or caving.
