The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries announced the rescue on Facebook Tuesday. The incident took place on May 22, officials said. 'The boater, who had gone out on May 20, got disoriented, ran out of gas, and his phone battery died, leading to the incident,' the Facebook post explained.
