‘I was Going to Die’: Man Goes Overboard 40 Miles off Topsail Beach, Saved by Father and Son

Saved by the Jacket

One man is crediting a father and son duo for saving his life after falling overboard 37 miles off the coast of Topsail Island.

“Do not take off your life jacket,” Scheller said. “Even if it’s the most perfect day, do not take your life jacket off and always have a killswitch. Always.”

Specifically, he wants people to know there are wireless killswitches available that can attach to passengers as well as the captain.

Scheller says spreading the importance of safety while boating is now something he is passionate about and plans to pursue in some way.
