Reminds me of Chris Searle the teacher who used to have people like this guy into his ckassroon to talk to the kids.

About their life.
Those were the days!

I cannot imagine the range of emotions you must feel when stranded in a life raft in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, any experience afterwards must seem very ordinary and tame by comparison. This man, his skipper and Atlantic rowing crew are legends. I’ll never moan about the Isle of Wight ferry again.
