The feeling of floating on the ocean with no boat it sight is quite a feeling. One I will never forget. Glad it worked out for you!

Pretty calm captain, extremely well done. Very sensible conclusion on the equipment, take time to find a suitable boat and don't get sold on the gloss.

Hi its Emily from prrimary school. Just wanted to say im really sorry that your boat sank. All the way back, all i can remember of you is that you loved fishing. Im so sorry that this happened, and that something you loved is gone. Im also really sorry for the people on facebook and their rude comments on your go-fund-me post. I hope you and your mate are okay. Again im so sorry your boat sank. Have a great day.

Thanks Emily, some people only make negative comments on things they dont like, but never make positive comments on things they do like. Hopefully we get another boat soon!

Young man, you have done a huge service to the boating community sharing your unfortunate experience. What happened an important lesson, how you kept you head and did what had to be done displays leadership qualities beyond your years. If you joined the services you would advance rapidly to senior ranks. Admiration is all I have for you.

Great video, you obviously handled the situation like a pro. Lots of lessons to be learnt here for those of us that haven't been in this situation. Be prepared and make sure you have the ability amd safety equipment to handle any situation you might find yourself in. You will most likely only get one chance to do it right. And I'm sure you will make sure your next boat is insured before you even pick it up. My insurance is less than $50 a month and will easily cover the replacement costs if something was to go wrong.

Well done and keeping a cool head probably saved the day. I hope you don't have any objections as I have shared this with our near 15,000 followers on Fremantle Sea Rescue page as an education tool. Your welcome to send us a message on our page with any comments. I was listening to this on our Radios as we dispatched our on-shift vessels to your location whilst getting standby vessels and crew ready to attend. It was a relief to hear you were found safe and so quickly.

Why did you do that? LOL. I always wondered why they don't make a large orange kite you can launch from a tube (Air launch?) that will catch the wind and fly in such a case like this? It's usually always a bit windy on the water except for those dead sea days, but at least it would give you a chance.

That’s a really good idea as you say unless there’s no wind.

@@waterfusion5509 Use the cooling water intake hose of your engine if it is an inboard also it sounds like you had your stern to the waves which would happen after you lost power. Did you check to see if debris was clogging you bilge pump, it's common. Are you saying water came over your stern while you were under power into the waves, that's unusual. Nevertheless sorry you lost your boat and glad you survived I spent 15 years in the Coast Guard Aux and was amazed at some of the mishaps we came across.
