James Michael Grimes is sharing his incredible story of survival after falling overboard on a Carnival Valor ship. The 28-year-old tells "Good Morning America" he does not remember the events leading up to falling off the ship. Grimes says the next thing he remembers is fighting for his life in the Gulf of Mexico. For nearly 20 hours, Grimes treaded water and battled sea creatures. Miraculously, the U.S. Coast Guard spotted Grimes and hoisted him to safety.

It is a miracle he survived. It's funny to me to hear about his drinking, can't remember what happened and can't say how many he drank. The part about him being intoxicated is why he went overboard I think. But it also adds to the miracle, he was intoxicated and staying afloat.

We all know he was drunk as hell when he went overboard. He was probably told to say certain things because his attorney can't figure out if his client will be able to sue, or if he himself will be getting sued. Even still, he was out at sea for like 20 something hours, his BAC definitely went WAY down after all that time. Don't forget, he was in a constant state of activity trying to stay afloat.

(11pm)After he didn't come back from the bathroom, his sister searched for him for hours before reporting him missing(at noon the next day). Security then began to search the ship, talking to crew and passengers. The ship turned around (2pm) and began searching the waters along the route they took. Coast guard was called (2:30pm) and they began search and rescue by sea and air. An alert also went out to all mariners in the gulf. Crew on another vessel spotted something- it was the man. A coast guard helicopter headed to the spot and hoisted him up. Absolutely crazy Edit- I read a separate article that covered this in more detail
