him missing and alert put out from new jersey to miami, more than two months later an emotional reunion with his father at the hospital in virginia. apparently a storm came through and broke jordan's mast and his communications gear. jordan told coast guard officials he survived through a combination of rationing the food, drinking rain water and catching fish with a net. he's thankful to be alive. >> i feel blessed and i feel full of love and grateful to be with my family and with people again, you know. i feel grateful to have the opportunity to live to do what i want to do. >> the coast guard actually launched a search to find jordan on february 8th but ten days later they stopped. officers say he failed to follow a float plan. the nautical equivalent of a flight plan, and they just couldn't narrow down his whereabouts. jordan apologized to his dad for not being able to fix his boat

to a pleasant afternoon, take you into your lunch time hour, temps in the mid-60s at that point and round out the day in the 70s. this is the last day of the 70s for quite some time, 73 degrees in the south bay today, 72 degrees on the peninsula and about 67 degrees for san francisco. high pressure starts to take a dive t moves to the south and east as we head throughout the weekend allowing showers to come in. i really want to focus in on the point that we have two sides to your easter weekend, but overall temperatures will be dropping significantly so if you want that springtime warmth, go on out there and get it for today. more on your full forecast coming up, plus we talked about that lunar eclipse possibility. we'll have more on that coming up as well. right now here's mike and your drive. >> all right, christina. taking you out toward the maze, traffic flows nicely, light volume. yesterday we had such a light volume we didn't see any backup along the berkeley curve aside from a couple of crashes but that was because of the incident, not because of the volume. headed toward the bay bridge those folks making the turn. let's look at your map for the

area, the maze shows the drive slowing south 880 but you saw that screen how light the traffic flow was, a couple of slower moving vehicles will affect that average speed. over here we had one flat tire being repaired blocking one of your eastbound bores. chp just removed that incident from their report. we should have no problems and don't see slowing headed away from oak land and toward the orinda side. westbound bore is completely clear no problem. the upper east shore freeway, there's the north bay. southbound 101 through san rafael, mill valley and across the golden gate bridge you're at speed there, same thing antioch, a little bit of slowing off of the antioch bridge, walnut creek interchange no problem here. we have a little bit of a build through the altamont pass but the bigger concern for the east bay is over here for fremont, we had the crash and all of the flashing lights. let's get a look by the truck scales, the live camera shows you what remains on the shoulder, just one tow truck which arrived late in the game, maybe doing some paperwork, letting them know no more cars left over and no slowing past the scene. we'll show you the rest of your commute an easy flow southbound

through fremont and into the south bay, there's still construction going on in a couple of spots but not as dramatic as these indicators would say because friday we have the crews picking up earlier. we also see a smooth flow of traffic along the peninsula with no delays and the only slowing west 580 coming out of the altamont pass. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. >> 5:10 now. the summertime treat researchers are now looking to kidney failure. plus saving the environment pays off, right, unless you drive this electric car. what the state is now considering, next.
