Fisherman rescued cruise ship piano player after nine hours in the water.

Maybe they thought he was a piano tuna?

Wonder how he wound up overboard. Dumped into the drink in the wee hours of the morning, a bit unusual. Did some drunks didn't like his playing? If he was tossed overboard, then the actions were criminal.

There was a similar situation a while back off the coast of southern California. A woman near Malibu Beach? decided to go skinny dipping. She got caught in a rip tide, was out at sea about 9 miles off shore. Some fishermen doing some deep sea trolling found her, pulled her aboard, clothed her in what spare clothing they had for her.

First responders took her to the hospital, she suffered hypothermia but made it OK. Unfortunately due to California privacy laws, that was the last they saw of her, couldn't visit to check up on her. News services kept her name as anonymous.
