Reason 284: You might have to ride out a hurricane in it. Article & video at the BBC.
From the article:
“This man survived in a nightmare scenario for even the most experienced mariner," said Lt Cmdr Dana Grady, chief commander of the St Petersburg sector.
"To understand the severity of the hurricane conditions, we estimate he experienced approximately 75-90mph winds, 20-25ft seas, for an extended period of time to include overnight.
"He survived because of a life jacket, his emergency position indicating locator beacon, and a cooler."
Now that is a Florida Man moment.
Good, sturdy coolers – don't go into hurricane season without at least one. You're far more likely to need it to salvage the contents of your refrigerator, but sometimes things just go sideways. Really, really sideways.
