This episode brings you the gripping tale of Will Fransen and his ill-fated solo fishing adventure. Will's love for the sea, which began in his childhood, drove him to purchase his dream boat, Betty G. However, a seemingly perfect summer holiday quickly transformed into a nightmare when he unexpectedly fell overboard while trying to release a marlin. Find out how a day filled with excitement and anticipation morphed into a desperate fight for survival.<br/><br/>Will's story is more than just harrowing—it’s a testament to human resilience and the sheer will to survive. Dressed in a simple hat, t-shirt, and sandals, Will recounts how he struggled to stay afloat for 23 and a half hours. Despite losing his jandals and watch, he managed to keep his hat on throughout the ordeal. Listen as he shares the critical moments of his experience: from the initial panic to the strategic decisions he made to stay alive, like draining water with a watch buckle and using his gear for buoyancy.<br/><br/>As the night drew on, Will faced physical exhaustion, shivering, and the eerie glow of bioluminescent plankton, all while clinging to the hope of rescue with the sunrise. Morning brought not just sunlight but also wind and waves, adding another layer of challenge to his already dire situation. This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of safety and preparedness for anyone who ventures out to sea alone. Tune in next week for part two, where we’ll explore the dramatic moments of Will's rescue and his emotional return to land.<br/><a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/2360073/supporters/new'>https://www.buzzsprout.com/2360073/supporters/new</a><a href=' https://www.nzsportfishing.co.nz/'><br/>https://www.nzsportfishing.co.nz/</a><br/><a href='https://saferboating.org.nz/'>https://saferboating.org.nz/</a><br/><a href='https://www.tpsfc.co.nz/'>https://www.tpsfc.co.nz/</a><br/><a href='https://www.coastguard.nz/'>https://www.coastguard.nz/</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2360073/support">Support the Show.</a></p><p>This Podcast is brought to you by <a href='https://www.nzsportfishing.co.nz/'>The New Zealand Sport Fishing Council</a> a not for profit, incorporated society funded by its member Clubs. <br/>You can find your nearest club <a href='https://www.nzsportfishing.co.nz/our-clubs/'>here</a><br/>Please SUBSCRIBE to this podcast to receive new episodes weekly!<br/>This Podcast is entirely self funded by <a href='https://www.nzsportfishing.co.nz/'>The New Zealand Sport Fishing Council</a> <br/>If you want to hear more episodes like this please consider supporting the podcast <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/2360073/supporters/new'>here</a><br/><br/></p>
