Fishermen Rescue Royal Caribbean Pianist Near Catalina

Two fishermen, Sean Norton and Grant Garrett, rescued an unidentified Royal Caribbean crew member who said he was a pianist aboard Ovation of the Seas after finding him treading water about 15 to 20 miles off Southern California near Catalina Island. He may have been in the Pacific for roughly nine to 10 hours before they pulled him aboard and called for help. He was hospitalized and is expected to survive. The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating how he went overboard, and the rescuers said unusually warm ocean water may have contributed to his survival.
