A man missing since January was rescued from a disabled vessel floating 200 miles of the coast of North Carolina by sailors who spotted the his boat.

37 year old Louis Jordan had last been seen at a Conway, S.C., marina on Jan. 23.  He spent the next 66 days lost at sea before he was spotted by the crew of the Houston Express, a German-flagged container ship.  They reported seeing Jordan on his sailboat Angel off the coast of Cape Hatteras and took him aboard.

Jordan told his rescuers that he survived by catching fish and drinking rain water, CBS News reported.
