A man reportedly missing at sea for about two months was rescued from his crippled boat approximately 200 miles off North Carolina, according to authorities.
Louis Jordan, 37, sailing a vessel named Angel, was reported missing by family Jan. 29, according to a news release from the Coast Guard 5th District Command Center in Portsmouth, Va.
The Coast Guard received a notification around 1:30 p.m. Thursday from another boat, the Houston Express, that Jordan and his disabled ship had been seen about 200 miles east of Cape Hatteras, N.C.
The Houston Express took Jordan aboard, according to the release.
A Jayhawk helicopter picked up Jordan and flew him to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in Norfolk, Va., arriving around 7:30 p.m., according to the release.
Calls to the Coast Guard for additional information, including Jordan’s condition, were not immediately returned.
