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 7:30 pm 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 8 am 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.
