Muata smelled bad enough the sharks didn’t even eat him. Good thing too that he ate the baked beans to keep him afloat that long.

He was trying to outdo Magnum PI from the episode he was treading water in the ocean for 24 hours and being circled by sharks…

Falling off a cruise ship is damn near impossible without help or doing something stupid.

Where else could he have been but in the water?

I suspect he had help doing something stupid by one of these guys.

Jack Daniel’s, George Dickel or Jim Beam come to mind.

The Valor operates out of New Orleans, so Miss Southern Comfort may have egged him on.

I’m so glad he was vaxxed! It could have been far worse for the unvaxxed!

The vaccinations likely saved him. Sharks don’t eat vaxxed meat

I still don’t believe that he spent 15 hours treading water, this after the shock of “falling” overboard.
Let’s see what the story is in the next 10 days. It’s possible, but improbable.

I remember taking the “Three Wise Men” shots.
Johnny, Jack, and Jim.

Dickey is terrible and doesn’t fit the alliteration.

From the bottom of the article, which barely qualifies as journalism, describing a 2nd/related incident:

In February, a 32-year-old female passenger on the Valor fell into the water, about 150 miles off the coast of Louisiana. Woman Missing After Falling from Carnival Cruise Ship Off the Coast of Mexico Passengers at the time had reported that she had hit the side of the boat before falling in the water. The Coast Guard later called off the search for the woman. The incident occurred as the cruise ship was on its way back to New Orleans following a five-day trip to Mexico, according to Carnival.

As a member in good standing from Uncle Sam's Canoe Group, let me just say that the open water gulfs and oceans of our planet do not suffer fools. Why anyone would pay to get underway with 3 or 4 thousand of them defies me.

Speculating: Alcohol was involved.
