Miracle rescue at sea: ‘It was just the Lord’
James Michael Grimes spoke in an exclusive interview with ABC News after falling overboard on a Carnival cruise ship and going missing for almost 20 hours.
The 28-year-old man said he was determined to make it out of the Gulf of Mexico alive.
Grimes said he treaded water for nearly 20 hours after falling overboard and battling jelly fish, rip currents, and shark-infested waters before being airlifted by the U.S. Coast Guard.
“I always thought there’s a greater purpose for my life. Now, I know for sure I’m meant to do something on this Earth. And, you know, I don’t know. It was just the Lord was out there helping me, giving me strength and helping me stay afloat,” he added.
