WOMAN SWEPT OUT TO SEA, RESCUED 36 HOURS LATER

A Chinese woman who was swept out to sea while swimming at a Japanese beach was rescued 36 hours later and 50 miles away. She did have an inner tube with her. She had gone missing around 7:30pm Monday while swimming at Shimoda, about 125 miles southwest of Tokyo. Japan’s coast guard launched a search for the woman, identified only as a Chinese woman in her 20s. But the woman, still floating in the tube, was spotted by a cargo ship around 8am Wednesday, about 36 hours after she disappeared, off the southern tip of the Boso Peninsula. Two crew members jumped into the sea and rescued her. She was airlifted by a coast guard helicopter, found to be slightly dehydrated, but was in good health and walked away after being examined at a nearby hospital.
* Then she was hit with a $40 fee by the tube rental guy for an extra two days.
* Next time, spend the extra ten bucks for flippers.
* Her fingers should stop being pruny by next Thursday.
* Lucky for her all the sharks are currently hanging around Florida.
