Woman, are you trying to raise super-villains?

Great story.

It just so happened a kids soccer ball drifted right into his path. He grabbed hold of the ball and clung to it for dear life. It just so happened a helicopter from the Greek Air Force finally spotted him.

Looks like God was watching over him.

Boy Scouts and Marines know how to turn your pants into an improvised flotation device. Of course, if you are wearing only shorts or swimming trunks, that won’t work.

It could have half deflated or it could have been half inflated depending on how you look at things.

That there’s the only worthwhile use for a soccer ball I can think of.

Wow. Consider the odds of being washed out to see, and then the odds of a soccer ball floating right by you.

That must have been the scariest 18 hours this man has ever experienced.
Helplessly floating about in choppy waters like a piece of driftwood.
He’s lucky no sea creatures decided to nibble and gnaw at his legs, just to get a quick taste of his unidentified floating object.

That was a hanging curve ball over the middle of the plate, right there.

If you are floating in the ocean you can remove your pants, tie off each leg near the ankle end, fill them with air by swinging them over your head, and use them to float. Luckily even with all the sailing I’ve done I never had to try this.

Maybe choosing a vacation site named “Cassandra,” wasn’t such a good idea. Cassandra was the prophetess of Troy who was doomed to keep predicting doom - the coming disaster of the fall of troy but never being believed. Chances are someone warned them to be careful because the surf was dangerous.

Here’s the location of Cassandra (in the northern party of he Aegean from, across the sea from Troy):
