Pacific Ocean Rescue: Incredible Survival Story after Rogue Wave Capsizes Rowboat

Фильм және анимация

24 year old Tom built a plywood boat in his Brisbane backyard, shipped it to Peru and rowed solo back toward Australia across the Pacific. A totally authentic, epic adventure ensued until.... on the final leg he was capsized by a rogue wave. In gale force winds, naked and freezing, he secured himself with a single rope to the upturned hull and activated his EPIRB. As night fell the enormity of his situation hit him.....
The epic survival story and rescue that followed have featured widely in international media over previous weeks. Hear the full story now, for the first time, on the podcast! It's epic!

    Met him today and he's as nice a bloke as you'd imagine. A confident but relaxed humility exudes from him. The spark of a bloke who has done things he can be proud of.

    @@OutbackMike so are you mate, humble qualities with low ego. These are factors that allow you both to thrive rather than survive in these situations. There is no room for ego in a life raft, there is no space for ego in a survival situation.
