Armpits of America: Cruise Ship passenger reveals how he survived 20 hours overboard
A man fell off of a cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico after a few drinks and shares how he trod water for almost a full day and fought off sea creatures while fading in and out of consciousness.
Passenger James Michael Grimes said he had a couple of drinks on the Carnival Valor on November 23, the night before Thanksgiving. He wasn’t drunk, he said, but doesn’t remember what happened next.
But the next 20 hours of his life ended up being a fight for survival, including resorting to eating bamboo and fighting off jellyfish in shark-infested waters
