Being wise and knowing what to do during an emergency gives someone an advantage and a good chance of survival.
A Day At Sea
51-year-old sailor Tim Shaddock and his faithful dog, Bella, went on a journey from La Paz, Mexico to French Polynesia.
But Something Happened
While journeying the Pacific Ocean, Tim and Bella encountered a sea storm that wiped out all the electronics on their white catamaran.
They’re Stranded
This unfortunate event led to the two of them being stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, solely relying on their luck and skill.
How They Survived
The sailor and his dog were alone and adrift for two months. Tim would catch raw fish so they could have something to eat, and catch raindrops to keep them hydrated.
Avoiding The Sun
To avoid sunburn from the scorching heat of the sun, Tim would seek shelter under the boat’s canopy to regulate his body temperature.
Then Hope Came
After two months of being in survival mode, a Mexican tuna trawler, accompanied by a helicopter, spotted Tim’s small boat, and the rescuers retrieved him and Bella from their broken vessel.
He’s All Good
A doctor onboard checked Tim’s vitals and confirmed that they were all normal, thanks to his resilience and great survival instincts.
Thanks To Bella
They were also commending Bella for being such a faithful dog. Her company played a vital role in boosting Tim’s morale during their time at the sea.
