Poor visibility also hampered the rescue efforts. The wave runner rider was stuck in the waist and chest-deep muck and mud in the marsh about 1,000 feet from the closest area accessible by boat.

Rescue workers were able to pinpoint the man's position thanks to a whistle he was blowing. The total rescue operation took over three hours. The man was taken back to awaiting boats.
