It's best to be prepared at any age. This was the case for a 73-year old man who went out fishing on Devil's Lake and his boat sunk.

The Sheyenne, N.D. man spent about 12 hours wearing a life vest and clinging to a fuel tank.  When the man did not return from a fishing trip, the authorities were notified. Soon after the search and rescue was implemented, the Benson County Sheriff's Department received the news about the man floating to shore.
