"Around 5 a.m., he reached the rocky shoreline at Point Loma and an  
officer at the Point Loma Navy Base heard his cries for help.

Navy officials didn't know about Bolter's ordeal, so they initially  
refused his request to come ashore at the beach, which is located in  
a restricted area.

Unable to swim much farther, Bolter implored them again to call for  
help. Shortly afterward, San Diego lifeguards came in a boat and were  
able to pluck him from a rock just offshore."



Well, at least no rules were broken in the rescue. Goooooo Navy!!!!
