    Lucky indeed ! It would be a scarey situation when there's only 360 degree views of water drifty on an upturned tinny

    That sounds like proof of what the safety experts say about staying with the boat.

    Charlie,

    The report states that he was 370 km offshore.

    Would have to be an ambitious swimmer indeed.

    Hard to keep cool under those circumstances, sh!t like that can fry your brain for awhile. I hope he's ok. I had a mate got himself stuck in the mud at Jacobs Well once, up to his neck with the tide coming in. Jetskier pulled him out just as his face was going under....................... Strong and very capable bloke, his brain was mush for about 2 weeks.......
