Ep. 47: Part 2 of Abandoned, 119 Days Adrift with John Glennie Interviewed by Linus Wilson

This is part 2 of my discussion with John Glennie. John Glennie's boat was adrift for 119 days upside-down before he and three other men landed on Great Barrier Island in New Zealand.

This is part 2 of my discussion with John Glennie.

John Glennie's boat was adrift for 119 days upside-down before he and three other men landed on Great Barrier Island in New Zealand. This is the record for the most days adrift in a cold climate and is likely the record for the most days adrift by a sailing yacht crew. His boat the Rose-Noelle capsized in violent storm on the way to Fiji from the South Island of New Zealand. In this podcast, we hear the first 30 minutes of that over 2.5 hour conversation about the ordeal. It contains important lessons about survival at sea. In that long conversation, Glennie said he could not properly tell his story in his co-authored book The Spirit of the Rose Noelle because he was suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) when it was being written. The 119 days at sea are the subject of the feature film Abandoned available on Amazon or Netflix.
