LAKE, N.D. (AP) – Authorities say a Sheyenne man spent about 12 hours in Devils Lake after his boat sank.

Benson County Sheriff Steve Rohrer states that authorities were notified early Saturday that a 73-year-old man who went fishing didn’t return as scheduled.

A few hours after the launch of a search and rescue operation, authorities received a report that the man had floated to shore.

Rohrer says the man was wearing a life jacket and held on to a plastic gas can as he floated overnight. Rohrer says the man is doing well.
