Lost at sea, with no land in sight, a Southern California boater who fell into the ocean thought he was going to die, until a nudge from a harbor seal gave him renewed hope.
SANTA BARBARA CHANNEL, Calif. -- Lost at sea, with no land in sight, a Southern California boater fell into the ocean and thought he was spending his final moments on earth.
Thompson accidentally fell out of his boat and into the water last month. He wore only shorts and a T-shirt in the middle of the frigid Santa Barbara Channel at night, miles away from land."That's when I realized, like, okay, we got problems," Thompson said."And I just started swimming as hard as I could, towards the boat, and it really didn't take too long to realize like, it's getting farther, I'm not getting closer.
"Just keep swimming, you gotta get home to your family." Thompson kept telling himself."I was devastating myself, through my mind, just picturing my girls and my son growing up without me, and my wife, you know, not having a husband to support her...I wasn't thinking about sharks or anything like that, until I hear this splash?""It was a medium sized harbor seal," Thompson said."The seal would go under water and he came up and nudged me.
