Diabetic retiree spends hours adrift
Jake Larimer was probably just looking for an afternoon at sea. He got it and a whole lot more. The 67-year-old survived a harrowing ordeal last weekend when his 26-foot boat went adrift in the Gulf of Mexico.
"He went over 24 hours without food or water and he's a diabetic," said Shelly Murray, 41, Larimer's stepdaughter.
