A Florida man who went missing after rough waters knocked him off his jet ski over the weekend is back on solid ground after a dramatic rescue.

Joseph Baricklow, aged 53, was declared missing when bystanders came across his jet ski deserted in the waters near the St. Lucie Inlet last Sunday, as per the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office dispatched deputies from the 100-Shift, in addition to their Aviation Unit, Community Policing Unit, and Marine Units to locate Baricklow.

USCG Aviation Survival Technicians were able to maneuver over the rocks Baricklow was clinging to and hoisted him to safety in their helicopter.

Baricklow was brought to the shore and taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

The sheriff’s office praised the collaborative efforts of the Martin County Sheriff’s Office and the United States Coast Guard as a remarkable display of lifesaving teamwork.
