An Australian sailor who says he survived more than two months lost at sea with his dog is 'stable and very well,' his doctor told an Australian news channel.
By Haley OttAn Australian sailor who says he survived more than two months lost at sea with his dog is"stable and very well," his doctor told an Australian news channel on Sunday. Tim Shaddock, 51, and his dog Bella were sailing from Mexico to French Polynesia when rough seas damaged their boat and its electronics system, leaving them adrift and cut off from the world.
A screengrab from Australia's 9News shows sailor Tim Shaddock next to his dog Bella, as the pair are rescued by a tuna trawler crew after what Shaddock said was nearly three months adrift in the Pacific Ocean."I have been through a very difficult ordeal at sea," Shaddock said in one of the videos posted by 9 News, appearing remarkably similar to the character played by Tom Hanks in the movie Castaway.
He said that the key was Shaddock's ability to secure a source of drinking water,"and also knowing, for example, as Tim did, that during the heat of the day you need to protect yourself because the last thing you want when you're in danger of becoming dehydrated is to be sweating."
