My condolences to the family, my 11 year old daughter was with her grandfather on west beach when my eagle eye daughter saw something in the water, my farther in his mid 60s broke out his binoculars, could make out scott in destress, my daughter ran to a woman on the beach and had her call 911, he was still hanging on for his life, and knew help was on the way as my farther honked sos and headlight sos, the fire department was on scene with in 10-15 min tops, took another 20 min minimum for the coast guard helicopter to show up, and another 8 min for one of the rescue boats. Had they been faster to the scene I'm confident he would of survived, I'm very disappointed on the response time. I hope after this the water rescue sar can learn the hard way to work on response time, it's unfortunate a man's life had to be lost for them to realize there slow response time. 1hr 15 min minimum  before he was pulled from the water from first 911 call.
