What we knew first
- How did a Royal Caribbean crew member end up treading water 15 to 20 miles offshore—and how did he get back alive? The second question has an answer: a fishing boat’s captain spotted him, and two Newport Beach fishermen lifted him aboard. The first remains the subject of a U.S. Coast Guard investigation.
