Tying the rode to the stern cleat and hitting wot was probably another bad idea.

There was a coastie who said he was on the cutter that found the survivor on tht.
He said they were NW of Cuba and steamed over to find him. It sounded like dumb luck,
but I tried to ask him if they had a radar fix. He did not answer so maybe they have some amazing radar or it was miraculous fate.

He went radio silent after my question.
