On November 9, 2012 a subject was fishing from a 14 foot Jon Boat on the Miles River during night-time hours.  He  lost his balance causing the little vessel to swamp and capsize.  He used a PFD he was holding to swim to a bridge piling but was wearing hip waders and could not pull himself up.  Maryland NRP, a good samaritan, and Easton VFD rescue personnel recovered the subject and later also recovered the swamped Jon Boat.  The subject as treated and released for possible hypothermia.  D
