Man falls from cruise ship, found clinging to buoy ``` [B]Monday, June 15, 2009 [/B] [RIGHT][B] [](http://www.baynews9.com/Chat.cfm?event=evtAddThread&ThreadTypeId=1&ContentId=484881)[/B][/RIGHT] ``` \ [![](http://media2.www.baynews9.com/images/news/2009/6/15/shiprescue.jpg;pv422dd208c5d66c82)](http://www.baynews9.com/images/news/2009/6/15/lgshiprescue.jpg) PINELLAS COUNTY (Bay News 9) – A man who fell from a cruise ship Monday morning was rescued after he was found clinging to a buoy, nearly three hours after he went overboard. According to reports, at 4 a.m. Monday, Larry Miller, 46, fell overboard from the Carnival Inspiration as it was returning to the Port of Tampa. The crew of a pilot boat found Miller clinging to a buoy in the shipping channel near the Sunshine Skyway shortly before 7 a.m. Miller was taken to the Fort DeSoto boat ramp, where an emergency vehicle picked him up and took him to Bayfront Medical Center. He was treated for minor injuries. A spokesperson for Carnival said Miller fell overboard when he climbed on a railing to get a better view of a boat as it passed by. He slipped, then fell overboard. The Coast Guard is investigating the incident. ---
