Rescued sailor releases statement

Charlotte, NC (April 6, 2015) – The man rescued from a disabled sailboat off the North Carolina coast responded to critics of his story on Monday, explaining that he avoided sunburn and blisters by staying in the vessel’s cabin and that he survived by rationing food and water. Luis Jordan’s three-paragraph statement says he stayed inside the cabin to keep dry and avoid sun, wind, waves and sea spray. – Associated Press
