How was the experience in the Pacific Ocean for the duo?

After being in a safe and safe region after a period of more than two months, the sailor talked to reporters about the way he acted to survive in this risky situation: “I had to eat a lot of sushi”mocked for having eaten a lot of raw fish.

About the experience, Tim told the good and bad moments:

“Tiredness is the most complicated situation to deal with. In the good parts, I went into the sea and enjoyed it. I had several, many horrible days and I had better days too.” – declared the rescued man.

About the little dog, the Australian was impressed with her courage and companionship:

“Three times I tried to find shelter for her, but she kept following me into the ocean. Compared to me, Bella is much braver.” – Tim said with conviction.

the case

The 51-year-old Australian man and his dog Bella were rescued in the Pacific Ocean, after being lost in the waters for a period of two months, enduring the difficult environment with rains in the place and eating raw fish.

The pair began their departure in La Paz, Mexico City in April with the aim of reaching French Polynesia, but after weeks the boat suffered damage due to a strong storm. Faced with the unfavorable situation, Tim and Bella used fishing for their survival, consuming raw fish and collecting the water that fell from the rains.

The man and his four-legged partner were rescued by a boat of sailors after being spotted by a helicopter. The man is safe and in good health.
