With no flotation device at hand, Ho fought to stay afloat in the open sea for several hours until he stumbled upon a broken fishing pole amidst the waves. He then tied his shirt to the makeshift pole and waved it in the air, hoping to catch the attention of any passing vessels that could rescue him, officials said.
Hohorst contacted authorities over VHF radio to report the rescue. The Suffolk County Police Department's Marine Juliet vessel, operated by Officer Robert Jenkins and Officer Bernadette Benjamin, rushed to the scene to provide further assistance, police said.
