Four Fort Lauderdale men rescued after 18 hours adrift
A 25 foot sloop capsized five miles from shore in a sudden storm. Steve Woodbrey 22 Arnold Walton 19 Gary Turpen 2 and Dave McConnell spent 18 hours afloat clinging to the hull then swimming toward shore. They swam in currents and wore life preservers. They were passed by ships that did not stop until a freighter signaled. They feared sharks and spoke of Jaws as they hoped to reach land.
