A light? As long as we are wishing here, if only he wore a wetsuit and
life preserver equipped with a McMurdo FastFind Plus PLB and a flashing
beacon.


My thought was that a light would stand out like a sore thumb five miles from
shore in the dark. Him surviving was a function of time; he could swim. They'd
didn't find him before he ran out of energy and ability to stay afloat.
