Saw this on the evening news. A women was rescued off Lover's Point clinging to her deflated raft overnight after being blown out to sea.

Good thing she was wearing a life jacket. Too bad she did not have a VHF radio to call for help.

wow, that woman is a tough cookie 

The pair did not have the strength to lift her onto their boat. She clung onto the side of it until the Coast Guard arrived.

In other words, the woman had the proportions of a walrus and her excess adipose tissue actually increased her survival prospects by providing much needed thermal insulation.

Hope they do a followup interview w the survivor.  Love to hear the tale and glad she lived to tell it! 

that is crazy stuff...long time.....longggggggggggggggggggggggggggg time to be bobbing around in any water...even a warm tub......unreal....super lucky and angel stuff there imho

a cell phone in a zip lock or even a vhf would be a life saver in this case....surprised she had neither otw

was that fisherman in the white shirt in the video "Carl"?

Inflatable=deflatable

She had to be BIG 'cause those guys looked fit and could drag a 200lb tuna in no problem

Not from the area (from a border town). Alone on an inflatable, without the proper gear, in winter, when a train of storms is passing through. 

Probably some bales of unknown stubstance floating nearby

Wow, thats some scary stuff.  Glad she made it out ok.

    You guys are too funny.

I was trying to figure out where I heard that voice before.

No kidding. Those guys were lifting 32 gallon trash cans filled with crabs in the video.

I understand the motor on her inflatable gave out and then started deflating...she wanted to go out and watch the sunset...then what? Come back in the dark? Sunset was too far away from the beach? Something isn't right there...

A woman who set out on Monterey Bay to chase the sunset

She could have been headed all the way to Hawaii. 
Glad she's OK.
