  urlLink CNN.com - Man rescued after 4 months at sea - Sep. 23, 2002 Ok. Trying to figure out how this guy drifted from a course to Catalina from Long Beach, (nearly a straight shot) and ended up near Costa Rica. He rode the current the entire way?! Down around the horn of South America and back up?! For anyone lacking in geography skills, Costa Rica is in the Gulf of Mexico, and Catalina is off the coast of Southern California. Glad he's okay though, but that sure is weird.
