Fishermen rescue cruise worker off California
Two Newport Beach fishermen found and rescued a Royal Caribbean employee who was treading water nearly 20 miles off the Southern California coast, CBS News reported. The pair encountered the worker while returning from a fishing trip near Catalina Island on Friday, turning an otherwise routine journey into an unexpected offshore rescue.
Why it matters
The chance discovery prevented a maritime emergency from becoming fatal far from the coast.
