WMUR reports that Cole Kelly, who operates tiki boats as charter manager for Punta Gorda Adventures, was out doing a normal cruise like usual when he spotted a man in the water who was struggling to stay afloat.
Kelly tells WMUR, "As we got closer, we saw the commotion on shore. Then it was apparent that he was bleeding really badly. Once I pulled him up, I could truly see the severity of his injuries. He was bleeding from head to toe. He had a terrible wound on his hand."
WMUR reports that the man was drinking and jumped to try to impress his friends. Not a good idea when you've been drinking! Kelly says this is the craziest thing that's happened to him during a cruise so far. I bet it won't be the last wild thing that happens! Once they got the man safely on the boat it sounds like they got back to the karaoke! You gotta respect that.
