37-year-old Louis Jordan had been missing for more than two months when he was rescued Thursday, 200 miles off the coast of North Carolina. Jordan and his boat Angel were reported missing by his family on January 29. He’d sailed from a marina in Conway, S.C. on January 23.
“I was planning on going out to get some fish and come back,” he told Good Morning America. “I didn’t plan on it taking that long.”
He admitted he doesn’t plan on going out on a boat any time soon, at least not far from shore into the ocean.
