Visser after 20 hours treading water rescued at sea

- VIDEO- The 61-year-old William Durden can miraculously retell how he bobbed around 20 hours long with no life jacket on the sea and was rescued by the US Coast Guard.

The man was beaten with his fishing boat overboard. When he's not coming home his wife engaged in the emergency night. A rescue helicopter rescued William, now 27 kilometers were driven to the sea, the next day from the water.

'What I've beaten me through I do not know,' says William to CNN. 'In light you can still wave to boats in the distance, but when it started to get dark, I had to devise a plan to survive. '
