1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the Fitsy and Whip with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 2: Guys, this is an unbelievable story. I don't know if

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 2: you saw it at the end of the week last week.

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: Need to talk about it about the Vietnamese guy that

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 2: was found in the water in the ocean, in the

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: middle of the ocean. Two local fishermen who they just

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: went off for a bit of a fish and they

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 2: found this guy out of nowhere. Haven't listened to this story.

9
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: The Vietnamese man was on board Double Delight leaving South

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: Korea on October twenty first. After two weeks at sea,

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: eight kilometers out from Newcastle, he was gone. The search

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: was extensive, but it was doctor Glen Villaire out fishing

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: who caught more than just his dinner.

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: My friend says to me, Glen Glenn, there's someone in

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: the water, and like, no, it shouldn't be anyone in

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: the water out here. If he didn't put his hand up,

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: I don't think we would have seen.

18
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: Him waiting open water for more than eighteen hours. He

19
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: was exhausted, famished and freezing cold.

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: Out there for nineteen hours. He wasn't even waving his

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: arm to the boat. That's how gone. He was like

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: he was still alive, only just he had a slight pulse,

23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: but he was gone. And these guys fishing just happened

24
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: to see something floating in the water. They've pulled this

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: guy in and they've taken him to boat Rowers Reserve

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: at Blacksmith Beach in Swansea. This was a Friday night,

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: six thirty. The New South Wales Ambulance met them there,

28
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: got this guy up. He was treated for hypothermia, exhausted,

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: unable to speak, but he had. They found his ID

30
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: wallet and a pack of cigarettes inside a sealed plastic

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: bag that was strapped to him. So the question is

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: did he do that himself or did somebody strap this

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: stuff to him and push him off the boat. It's

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: a great question.

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: I mean, if the cigarettes weren't there, I would suggest

36
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: somebody else has done that to id him. Why would

37
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: anybody include the cigarettes if not for him? But he's

38
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: going all right, got my idea and stuff. I'll need

39
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 3: that to get around and I'll tell what I bloody

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 3: love guys. That's a gasper. We know what those getting wet? Yeah,

41
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: I love a sportstick.

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: So he was wearing a life checkert but it was.

43
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: He was in there for nineteen hours freezing cold. I

44
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: mean the thought of sharks in that as well out of.

45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 3: The ocean, don't even Yeah, maybe he thought he could

46
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: swim to shore eight ks did he did?

47
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 2: He want to get off the ship himself, and he

48
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: strapped himself the ID, the wallet and the pack of cigarettes.

49
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: But the doarries the dories is the real weird one

50
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: for me is if you lighten up a smoke in

51
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: the middle of the od. No, but you wait, You've

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: got a big swim swim ahead of you, and what

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: are you going to want after you? Mate? Cakes?

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: It might be right fits maybe it was smart and

55
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: what we're not what we're realizing. He didn't have a flair,

56
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 3: but he wanted a smoke signal. So he just thought,

57
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: if I can burn through a packet of Flight of

58
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: starvingson more, then someone should see it.

59
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 2: I just chucked. It's just he's it's a swim for it.

60
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: So the question is did he strap his ID in

61
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: wallet and the de garpers gaspers to himself or did

62
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: somebody else do it? And then he's fallen off that boat.

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: Did he jump off the bat he did it? Do

64
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: you know?

65
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: What's interesting to listen to the news story. It made

66
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: it sound when they said the fishermen caught more than

67
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: they expected.

68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: It sounded like they were going and there.

69
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 3: I got one air and I got like Kenny's are running,

70
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,600
