At this point nobody really knows why he was in the river. |
He was cold and wet but he was apparently in fairly good spirits after the rescue. |
It's not known how the male got out there, but it's likely that the tide was lower at that time. It happens a few times a year where people venture out, and then of course the tide comes up quite quickly and we have fairly high tides right now. |
The way the rescue was actually accomplished was the crews waded across lower down the river and then they moved upstream and they walked him back downstream. |
