INCREDIBLE Moment Australian Man And Dog Rescued After Months Adrift

'INCREDIBLE Moment Australian Man And Dog Rescued After Months Adrift'. Footage shows the incredible moment an Australian sailor and his dog were finally rescued after almost THREE months at sea. Tim Shaddock, 54, had originally set sail from the Mexican city of La Paz but was crippled by bad weather weeks into the journey. When the tuna boat’s helicopter spotted Shaddock’s catamaran about 1,200 miles (1,930 kilometers) from land, it was the first sign of humans he had seen in three months, Shaddock said. The pilot tossed him a drink and then flew away, returning later with a speed boat from the María Delia, he said. Shaddock said he had been well-provisioned, but a storm knocked out his electronics and ability to cook. He and Bella survived on raw fish. Shaddock described himself as a quiet person who loves being alone on the ocean. Asked why he set out in April from Mexico's Baja Peninsula to cross the Pacific Ocean to French Polynesia, he was initially at a loss. #news #australiansailor #rescued #breakingnews Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/
