03:28If you do enough Hobart races, you will come across really, really bad weather.
03:32With particularly the newer guys, the guys that hadn't been in the race before,
03:36my advice to them was, look, it's going to get cold, it's going to get wet at times,
03:40it's going to get miserable.
03:41And so saying we can't go because the weather might get rough is not going to happen.
03:48And yeah, so we probably had another pie and smacked each other on the back
03:53and headed off to the start line.
03:58115 yachts this year, hundreds of spectator boats, thousands of people on the foreshore.
04:04There's nothing like the Sydney to Hobart.
04:07There's a 10-minute warning gun and everybody's trying to get a favourable position for the start.
04:12Speed boats and sailing boats careering around,
04:14all jockeying to get an advantage at the starting line.
04:18It's pretty crazy out there, really.
04:20It's a wonder there's not more accidents.
04:22And then that's it, that's game on, you're racing.
04:2454th Sydney Hobart race.
04:26What a sight, guns gone and they're away.
04:28First day we sail up Sydney Harbour on one of those incredible powderpuff blue sky days
04:34and off we all go.
04:36We're powering south, beating boats that we shouldn't be beating,
04:39passing boats we shouldn't be passing.
04:41Within 24 hours we are way ahead of where we would normally be.
04:45We are right down on the far south coast, almost on the corner of Bass Strait.
05:01Entering Bass Strait, it was surreal.
05:03There was, there was no breeze.
05:04It blew really hard, then it died.
05:07It was like a calm before the storm.
05:09I don't even know how to explain it, but it's something that you feel without looking at instruments when the pressure drops.
05:14I'm thinking, well, where's this, where's this bloody gale?
05:17It isn't happening.
05:18But then, almost as I said it, you know, within minutes, the breeze started coming in.
05:23The wind changed direction and started to work its way around through the compass.
05:30So instead of coming from the ocean direction, it started to clock around and came off the land.
05:34The air starts to get hotter.
05:36There's even some insects starting to fall that get blown off the land in the hot, the hot westerly wind.
05:41So then we started seeing a squall line coming towards us from the south.
05:47As it turned out, we were heading into a real, as it turned out, a real bomb.
05:58Probably the scariest thing was the sound, the shrieking sound of the wind in the sails.
06:03It became what I call a banshee.
06:05The wind shrieked.
06:07Look, I've never heard wind shrieked before.
06:09It picks up the tops of the waves and throws them at you.
06:13So you're sort of constantly getting hit by this biting spray.
06:17It's like someone poking forks into your eyes.
06:19It's just all white. It's all white.
06:22So that's literally like driving along a freeway at 140 kilometres an hour in the rain and then putting your head out.
06:28That's scary.
06:29And then the waves started getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
06:32They're as big as a building.
06:34They're taller than our mast.
06:36It's beyond the scale of what we are used to seeing.
06:42We had a few times where we didn't get the wave motion right and flew into thin air and fell 20, 30 feet.
06:49And it was like smashing into concrete.
06:52The boat's pitching and rolling and up and down and waves breaking over you.
06:56And it was very physical trying to keep the boat on track.
07:01And I view these things as living, living monsters.
07:03They aren't just water.
07:04They were living monsters that are trying to take you out.
07:06You have to fight the monster.
07:07At five past two, a radio schedule started.
07:16Radio schedules are normally staid conservative events.
07:19Boats are called alphabetically and you give your position and that's it.
07:22You shut up.
07:24This radio schedule was unlike any other radio schedule I'd ever participated in.
07:28People were in a lot of trouble.
07:29You could hear everything.
07:31You could hear people screaming for help.
07:32Like it was, that was the, I think that was, that's the most chilling thing I remember out of the whole race.
07:39Is just listening to desperation in people's voices.
07:45I was hearing the fear in people's voices.
07:47It was like a tangible thing.
07:49It was almost like I could like almost reach out and touch this fear like a glass or a book or something.
07:54I could almost touch this fear that I could hear coming out of, resonating out of the speak on the radio.
07:59People were scared.
08:02Eden has always been an integral part of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
08:11We are the last safe port before they head into Bass Strait.
08:17So the Sydney to Hobart is something that we always watch.
08:21I always watch the start.
08:23But because I was busy, I was busy at work, I probably wasn't aware what was actually happening.
08:29Injured crews and an airlift rescue as the weather turns its worst on the Sydney Hobart fleet.
08:37On the big screen at the Fishermen's Club, there was some news coverage.
08:41And that's when I went, wow, that looks, that looks nasty out there.
08:46And that was the real moment where we went, this is going to be a big, long night.
08:52The mindset at that point is we're just going to tough it out.
09:00We're going to ride it out.
09:01But a wave came along that changed our lives forever.
09:06This 60 foot wave took the boat, eight and a half tons, 43 feet.
09:11Took it from a vertical position, completely inverted it upside down.
09:15The mast snapped, it went off like a cannon.
09:18The mast just snapped underwater.
09:19Boom, you could hear this noise.
09:21We had three knockdowns.
09:24One I can recall getting washed back against the stainless steel rail at the back of the boat.
09:29And that stopped me from going any further.
09:31So the four guys were on deck.
09:33The helmsperson was thrown over the side and dragged through the ocean like a fishing lure on a fishing rod.
09:39And he was underwater and just put his arm up like that.
09:42And he felt the boat and we've just locked gazes.
09:45And I said something to him that's pretty crazy.
09:47I said, for Christ's sake, stop fucking around and get back on board, will you?
09:50It's just a mountain of green water.
09:53No matter how strong you think you are, you can't hang on against this force.
09:56So the boat eventually righted itself.
09:59But the next wave's coming.
10:01The next wave's coming.
10:02It doesn't stop.
10:03It only got worse.
10:04It got worse.
10:06On our boat, I'd been up all night.
10:08Richard sent me down to get some rest.
10:10I think I slept for about 45 minutes.
10:12And then I woke up to an explosion.
10:14I was lying in the back of the boat and I heard one of the boys say, I heard one of them say, watch this one.
10:22And from what I can feel is, this is a big wave.
10:25This is a monster.
10:27It's actually picked the boat up and thrown it into the trough.
10:33Nobody knew what had just happened.
10:36Like, it was honestly like a truck had hit us in the middle of the ocean.
10:40And there was a lot of water coming in.
10:41There was glass everywhere.
10:43You know, there was wires hanging down.
10:44And I think at that moment, that was when it really hit me that we were in a bit of trouble here.
10:49We did hear the Winston Churchill mayday, which was just chilling.
10:54Mayday, mayday, mayday.
10:56Here is Winston Churchill, Winston Churchill.
10:58We are sinking.
11:00Our pumps aren't working.
11:01Words that affect.
11:02I'll never forget it.
11:04Roger.
11:04We will relay your mayday.
11:06Over.
11:07Roger.
11:07And just as we got the word back from the ABC chopper, the batteries went dead.
11:14And that's, I think, at that moment, I realised that we were alone.
11:18I had a quick look and said, right, we've got to get the life rafts up on deck.
11:22And we've got to prepare to abandon ship.
11:24I grabbed the four-man life raft.
11:26I just thought to myself, we've got to go.
11:29So I threw it.
11:30We threw both life rafts over.
11:32And then we all proceeded to get in the rafts.
11:35And as I pulled myself onto the raft and fell back into it,
11:38the Winston Churchill was already down to the second spreaders.
11:41It was sinking.
11:42And everybody was in the water.
11:48Atrocious weather conditions are now taking a heavy toll on the Sydney to Hobart fleet.
11:52Twelve people are being airlifted from the dismastered yacht offshore stand aside.
11:56Winston Churchill has been holed and is sinking.
11:59The crew is now in a life raft.
12:01Well, the funny thing is, I was at a family Christmas function.
12:04And I went in to take over the helicopter and the helicopter wasn't there.
12:10And someone asked me, where have you been?
12:12You know, this is all over the news.
12:16We knew from the news that the boat was in trouble.
12:18But we didn't really know a lot more.
12:21I'm a paramedic, primarily.
12:24Like a paramedic on the helicopter.
12:26But we do rescue work as well.
12:27So I go down the wire.
12:30We were clearly always going to be involved once it was, you know, as bad as what it was.
12:36With the race still underway, a massive sea search continues for those missing.
12:41We're not just searching for the yacht.
12:42We're searching for life rafts.
12:43We're searching for anything in the water.
12:44We had neighbours who came to support me.
12:48And when they said, oh, they're in a raft, they're right.
12:52We celebrated and got pizzas, not realising that it wasn't all right.
12:57Four got in one raft and five got in another raft.
13:07A round one, which was the ones the boys jumped in, that was a round one.
13:11The life rafts that we have, I've no hesitation in describing them as kiddies pools.
13:15The only thing different with ours was that it had a blow-up roof over the top of it.
13:18The one we were in was a square one.
13:21You would think that they're more complex than that, but they really aren't.
13:24That raft was terrible.
13:27You're a beach ball in the ocean.
13:30Every time we got hit by a wave, we got flipped over.
13:33And these were violent hits.
13:35Our heads would crash together inside the raft.
13:37And it was really, really terrifying.
13:40The wind and the water are taking us both in the same direction,
13:42but one's square and one's round, so there's going to be a difference in speed.
13:47So you're on your own.
13:51It's about that time one of our guys was down below putting on his wet weather gear
13:56and the boat's doing this right.
13:58It's jumping off waves and going bang, bang, and falling 20 feet.
14:01He wasn't hanging on at the right time and ended up shooting up onto the ceiling of the boat.
14:05And there were bolts protruding through.
14:07Split his head right open.
14:09The other crew of the other crew, the other three on deck,
14:11one's got a smashed lower back.
14:13People knocked unconscious.
14:15Two guys with crushed rib cages.
14:17There's blood all over the place, which didn't exactly assist our level of comfort.
14:21There's only so much of that a boat can handle.
14:25Our mission was then to keep that 13.33 metres long bit of fibreglass afloat
14:30and sustain life on it.
14:31Still, the boat was carnage.
14:33The six crew were huddled in the bottom of the boat in the bilge,
14:36cuddling each other.
14:37It was cold too, hey?
14:38You do whatever you've got to do to survive.
14:40I need a piss, just piss my pants where I'm standing.
14:42If there's something to eat, you don't know what it is.
14:44You just need substance.
14:45You need what I call gut luggage.
14:47You know you need fuel.
14:48You've just got to do what you've got to do to survive.
14:49Survival's number one.
14:50You have to think about, okay, well, how long's this storm going to last?
14:54Do we have enough food?
14:55Can we start the motor?
14:57So we thought we'd pull out.
14:58So we had a discussion.
14:59We just heard Winston Churchill.
15:00Did we turn around and go for Eden?
15:02And we said our best chance of survival, not winning the race,
15:05our best chance of survival, guys, is to keep going into these waves,
15:09get up and over them, get up and over them.
15:11But then we actually got requested to go to another vessel in distress.
15:18And so the owner of the boat stuck his hand out and said,
15:23turn around, bear away.
15:26We radio in and let the race officials know
15:29that we're not going to finish the race that we're pulling out.
15:31So we made the choice of continuing on.
15:34It was about what we thought was our best chance to survive.
15:36I was always taught that, you know,
15:38you always try and go to someone's aid if possible, you know,
15:42when out at sea, because, you know,
15:44if we were in the situation they were in,
15:45we would want a boat next to us.
15:47I was a bit frustrated, I think, because I was sailing really well.
15:51And so I was like, you know, if we could, if we can keep going,
15:53we, we, we're going to cream this.
15:56So we bore away.
15:57We knew as a crew that that was the end of our race,
16:00but that was fine, you know.
16:01It's a big, it's a big, it's a big deal
16:03because you don't go into it to pull out.
16:16A couple of boats had come in
16:18and the general thing that we do
16:20is go down and offer them any assistance,
16:22see what we can do for them.
16:24It was mayhem and there was boats everywhere.
16:28People were breaking ribs, being very bruised and battered.
16:32Because it's peak tourist time,
16:35there is no accommodation
16:37and they need, need somewhere to go.
16:40We have to do something,
16:42extend the hand of kindness somehow.
16:44So I think we ferried two loads of people home
16:47and they're all just sitting on the floor
16:49around the lounge room,
16:51tried to sleep as best they could,
16:52depending on their trauma level.
16:54I dropped a crew up to mum and dad's.
16:56When I asked them if they needed medical assistance,
16:59they said, we honestly don't know.
17:01We're operating on adrenaline.
17:03We're just glad to be in here.
17:12I think the first eight hours were just terrifying,
17:15just because of the sea.
17:16and the waves that were hitting us.
17:18We were, the monster waves.
17:20We were very fearful of our life.
17:22Like we don't, none of us want to,
17:23we don't want to die.
17:24I mean, seven out of eight of us had young children.
17:26The fear that we're going to perish
17:28and never see those children again.
17:31We were definitely scared,
17:32but there was no time to really
17:34even think about being scared
17:36because if you did that,
17:38then you weren't concentrating on the next wave coming
17:40and how you were going to get through it.
17:41This is a sequence of thought process.
17:43First is, jeez,
17:45I think I found out how I'm going to die.
17:47Huh, it's drowning, huh?
17:49And I think I've read that it's actually peaceful at the end.
17:52Oh, we'll find out tonight, I think, maybe.
17:54We were very alone
17:55and our hopes were slowly fading
17:57and of course by this time
17:59the raft was in pretty bad shape now.
18:02It was losing air badly.
18:03At one point we were almost standing
18:05in a floating bag.
18:08and then we went up the face of a wave.
18:14You couldn't feel that you were going up the face of a wave.
18:17But obviously we did.
18:20And then we got to the top
18:21and all of a sudden it broke.
18:23And I remember just hanging on.
18:26I grabbed my arm like that,
18:28locked my arm around the roof frame
18:31and I held my breath for a long time.
18:37And then finally
18:38I came up and I was on the outside
18:42and I yelled out,
18:43are you all there?
18:44And I got one reply from John Gibson.
18:48And he was the only one that was hooked on
18:49and I was the only one that could hang on.
18:53The rest were over, were gone.
19:01The truth is we didn't know
19:02anybody was looking for us.
19:05I felt pretty angry.
19:06I can't go like this.
19:08Crikey.
19:09This is no way to go.
19:10But by the end of the second day
19:13we realised that we were getting hypothermia.
19:16We knew that we weren't going to last another night.
19:20I guess there was a certain amount of pessimism,
19:22you know, given how wild the sea was,
19:25whether the guys from Winston Churchill
19:27could have survived it.
19:29I've always been positive.
19:30You know, I always had it in the back of my mind
19:32they'd find us.
19:33At that time, a plane came over.
19:36Because we'd been hallucinating about
19:38aeroplanes and boats
19:39for the last, sort of, five hours.
19:42Nobody said anything.
19:44We're told that there's a life raft
19:46that has been spotted.
19:49They'd been through that whole night
19:51and, I mean, just the trauma
19:54surviving in seas like that
19:56in a little life raft,
19:58it was amazing, really.
19:59So the helicopter came over
20:02and the diver came down.
20:05As soon as he connected me,
20:07we sort of got shot out of the water
20:08because, you know,
20:09the waves were sort of going up and down
20:10and as we got shot out,
20:12I put my arms around him
20:13and he pulled his snorkel out
20:16and he said,
20:16put your arms down.
20:17If there's any problems,
20:17I'm going to have to let you go.
20:19I wouldn't have said that either.
20:20I would have told him to keep his arms down.
20:22A hug is fine.
20:23and I have no problem with a hug
20:24but if they reach up,
20:26then they can fall out.
20:29So as soon as we got onto the chopper,
20:31the crewman said,
20:33so what boat were you on?
20:34And I said, I was on the Winston Churchill.
20:36Well, he passed that information
20:37up to the front of the helicopter
20:38and the two guys in the front
20:40high-fived each other.
20:41Yeah.
20:42I remember that moment.
20:44That made me realise then that,
20:46you know,
20:46there must have been some people
20:47out looking for us.
20:47After 25 hours in the raft,
20:51the extensive air search paid dividends
20:53and they were winched to safety.
20:55Their thoughts last night
20:56were with their five missing crewmates.
20:58Yeah, I'm really confident they'll make it.
21:00They've, um,
21:00I mean, they're all very experienced seamen
21:02and they're not going to do anything silly
21:04and I'm confident that you'll find them
21:06alive and well.
21:08I don't know.
21:09I feel like that we were sort of
21:11ignorantly upbeat about things,
21:13thinking that they would just be OK.
21:15It would have been eight o'clock
21:17at night
21:18and then all of a sudden
21:20there's this chopper above us
21:22which was out of this world
21:24that was like something out of Star Wars,
21:26this whole noise and light show.
21:30There were only two men on that raft
21:31and three members got washed off.
21:35I felt him go.
21:37Yeah, I just felt him go.
21:39He just said,
21:40I can't hang on any longer.
21:43And then the news was on the TV
21:46and you could see his face.
21:50The two dead crew from the Winston Churchill
21:52were named this afternoon
21:53as John Dean and Mick Bannister.
21:56Still missing, presumed drowned,
21:57is Jim Lawler.
21:58When we got ashore,
22:00they did ask me,
22:02would I identify
22:04two of the bodies that had been found?
22:08When they discovered his body,
22:10I had to go and view it
22:13to make sure it was him.
22:14That was quite something
22:16because the facial expression
22:19was an incredible smile.
22:21Oh, he looked absolutely beautiful.
22:23Just the eyes wouldn't open.
22:25A little bit wrinkly round the fingers
22:27of being in the water.
22:29I was so grateful that they'd found him though.
22:33They say drowning is one of the nicest ways
22:37you can leave the planet.
22:41And that confirmed it to me
22:43with that smile.
22:44That helped me.
22:47You'll never forget it.
22:48We got radio reports off the coast.
23:00We were close enough to get AM radio
23:02and then we started hearing more
23:03about just how bad the drama was
23:06and a lot of boats are missing.
23:08We heard that,
23:09but we also heard our main rivals
23:11were nowhere near enough ahead of us
23:14to be able to beat us on handicap.
23:16So we had a chance of winning this race.
23:19In seas that tested sailors
23:21on even the biggest boats,
23:23the seven crew on the tiny AFR
23:25Midnight Rambler
23:26weathered the conditions well,
23:28finishing more than two hours ahead
23:30of their nearest rival
23:31on corrected time.
23:32Go the Rambler!
23:34Normally going to the docks is huge.
23:36The docks are full of people
23:37clapping and saying congratulations.
23:40None of that this year
23:41out of respect and out of sorrow
23:43for what was going on.
23:44My father did the Hobart,
23:4619-odd Hobart,
23:47so we've been a Hobart family
23:48since I was a young kid.
23:51So to win the race is,
23:52personally,
23:52it's just a hugely satisfying experience.
23:55My father got on the phone
23:58and rang me
24:00and he was crying,
24:01which my father comes from an era
24:03where men don't cry.
24:05and through his tears he said,
24:09Edward, my two sons,
24:10thank God you're safe,
24:11thank God you're safe.
24:12And then he said,
24:13we, we have finally won this race,
24:15which was pretty good.
24:18Ah, sorry.
24:23And for those watching,
24:24they're probably thinking
24:25it's just a race,
24:26why you're so emotional,
24:27but it was a big deal
24:29for us,
24:30the,
24:30the,
24:30the,
24:31the,
24:31the soldiers' family.
24:34Yeah.
24:35Mixed emotions.
24:39Eventually,
24:39an Orion-search aircraft
24:41flew over us.
24:42This thing came sweeping
24:43out of the horizon,
24:45dropped the thing in the water
24:46and inside that
24:48was this radio,
24:49this emergency handheld radio
24:50and he informed us
24:52that the warship Newcastle
24:53was 36 miles
24:54from our position.
24:55And then the ABC chopper
24:58appeared.
24:59ABC chopper,
24:59this is a warship Newcastle
25:01working,
25:02matching the yacht now.
25:03And I thought,
25:04you know,
25:04I've got the ABC chopper
25:05and a Orion-search aircraft
25:07and the warship Newcastle
25:08leading towards us
25:08and I'm not saved now
25:09and never will be.
25:12We actually got
25:13to another vessel
25:14in distress.
25:17They probably weren't
25:17real happy to find out
25:18we were a bunch
25:19of like 20-year-olds.
25:21But hey,
25:22our boat's a boat, right?
25:25So we said,
25:26righto,
25:26well,
25:27we're going to just
25:27shadow you in
25:28and we stayed
25:29by this side
25:29the whole way to Eden
25:30and of course
25:31we both arrived
25:33at the same time
25:33and yeah.
25:36We arrived into Eden
25:44in the early hours
25:45of the morning
25:46and I stepped ashore
25:47in Eden
25:47and it was a very
25:48emotional time
25:49for everyone,
25:50you know.
25:50It's not until
25:51you get back in
25:52and you put your feet
25:53back on the ground
25:54that you know
25:55it's over,
25:56you're through it.
25:57There was a lot
25:58of broken boats,
26:00a lot of broken boats.
26:02They towed
26:03one of the other boats
26:04in that two men
26:05had died on,
26:05a boat called
26:06Business Post Nyad.
26:08Both bodies
26:09were still on board
26:10that boat
26:10and that was very
26:11sobering to look
26:12at that.
26:13We started to find
26:14out of course
26:15what had actually
26:15taken place,
26:16how many people
26:16had been rescued
26:17and how many
26:18people had died.
26:19You know,
26:19at that point
26:19I realised
26:20that I'd survived,
26:22others didn't.
26:23Dealing with that
26:24survival guilt thing
26:25wasn't something
26:25I'd ever been through
26:26before.
26:27When I stood
26:27on that wharf
26:28at Eden,
26:29the soul of Tony
26:30Mowbray
26:30was there for
26:31everyone to see.
26:31You could see my soul
26:32if you wanted
26:33to have a look.
26:33Mate,
26:34I've got a
26:34seven-year-old daughter,
26:36she'll be seven
26:36on the 60th of January
26:37and a five-year-old son.
26:39You know,
26:39more important
26:40than that.
26:41All our crew
26:42wanted to do
26:42is we just
26:43wanted to be
26:44with each other.
26:44We didn't really
26:45talk about it.
26:46We probably
26:47had a few beers.
26:49Look,
26:49we had a few drinks
26:50but look,
26:51it was subdued.
26:52There was no,
26:53you know,
26:53we weren't dancing
26:53in the streets,
26:54it was subdued.
26:55And then the next day
26:56we fuelled up
26:57and sailed back
26:58to Sydney.
26:58We all needed
26:58to move on.
27:00I think it's like
27:00if you fall off a horse
27:01you've got to get
27:02back on it,
27:02right?
27:02Otherwise,
27:03you might never.
27:06I walked away
27:06from the
27:07round-the-world attempt.
27:08I've got a son
27:08and a daughter
27:09are much more
27:09important than that.
27:10I have a fantastic
27:11wife and two young
27:12boys at that stage
27:13and I thought,
27:14yeah,
27:14this is stupid.
27:15Just forget
27:15this stupid
27:16Sydney Hobart race
27:17thing.
27:17And I would never
27:18do that again
27:18to Nancy.
27:19I would never
27:19put her through that.
27:21So I think
27:21that you sort of
27:22pack it up
27:23and leave it behind.
27:24But,
27:25you know,
27:25the human mind
27:25being what it is
27:26for all of us
27:27can rationalise out
27:28anything if it tries
27:29hard enough,
27:29I believe.
27:30And by about June,
27:31the salt in my veins
27:33got flowing again
27:34and I started thinking,
27:35oh gee,
27:35we had a good crew
27:36and the boat's
27:37in good shape.
27:37We could go again.
27:38It won't happen
27:39that bad again,
27:39will it?
27:40Surely not.
27:40And out of the blue
27:41I just said to Lorraine,
27:42what would you say
27:43if I said I want
27:44to go back?
27:45Majority of the crew
27:46will reconvene
27:47the next year
27:48and we did the race
27:49on the same boat
27:50and we won our division.
27:51We ended up
27:52finishing what we
27:53set out to do
27:54but had to wait a year.
27:56And one year
27:56and ten months later
27:57after the 98 Hobart,
27:59I started out
28:00of Newcastle Harbour
28:01on the same boat
28:01and spent 181 days
28:03at sea
28:04on my own
28:04continuously
28:05going around the world.
28:07So how crazy am I?
28:08I'm not going
28:09to do it again.
28:10My actions
28:10caused a whole lot
28:11of people
28:11to put their life
28:12at risk.
28:13It put them
28:13through emotional,
28:14traumatic situations
28:15where they wouldn't
28:16have had to do that
28:17except for the fact
28:18that I was out
28:18chasing my dreams
28:19during Sydney
28:20and Hobart
28:20and got caught up
28:21in a storm.
28:21and I suppose
28:23the counter is
28:23if I was to go
28:25through life
28:26wrapped in cotton wool
28:27and never able
28:28to take a risk
28:29because I might
28:29hurt myself
28:30and therefore
28:31endanger my family,
28:32I'd be a pretty
28:33unhappy man.
28:34There's not many
28:34things in life
28:35where you have
28:36to chart your own
28:37course.
28:38You have to be
28:39the one to call it.
28:40It's not up
28:41to somebody else
28:41to tell you
28:42whether you can
28:43or can't go.
28:43It's up to you.
28:45I'm aware of my wife
28:46and my kids
28:47and love them
28:48more dearly.
28:49I'm also equally
28:50aware of what
28:50gets me going
28:52in life
28:52and it's not
28:53just the wife
28:54and kids
28:54I hate to say.
28:55There's no consequences
28:56at all.
28:56I'd do it tomorrow
28:57but there are consequences.
28:59Consequences of
29:00just simply the fact
29:01that my wife
29:01is sitting at home
29:02wondering whether
29:03I will be alright.
29:05I'm very lucky.
29:06I had 21 years
29:08of gourmet marriage.
29:10I consider myself
29:11very lucky.
29:12A lot of people
29:13never have that.
29:15I didn't know
29:16that they were
29:17the worst experiences
29:18in my life
29:18at that stage
29:19because I hadn't
29:19had much of life
29:20you know.
29:21It's not easy.
29:24I had a crying
29:24tea towel
29:25for six months.
29:26You know
29:27of course
29:27I am sailing
29:28by Rod Stewart.
29:29Every time I heard
29:30that burst into tears.
29:32You know
29:32I had a couple
29:32of years
29:33of pretty bad
29:33nightmares.
29:34I'd wake up
29:35thinking that
29:35you know
29:36my wife and kids
29:37were in a raft
29:37with me at sea
29:38and I couldn't
29:38get them out
29:39of the water
29:39or you know
29:39they were pretty
29:40constant for a while.
29:42I think anyone
29:43in their right mind
29:44has feelings.
29:45so you've got
29:47to be able
29:47to express it
29:48I guess
29:49and feel it.
29:51People do it
29:52in different ways.
29:54I mean everybody
29:54on that race
29:55went through something
29:56that the majority
29:57of humans
29:57are never going
29:58to experience.
30:00It's pretty big
30:01when you look
30:02at it that way.
30:02and see you
30:04in different parts
30:07of the country.
30:08Very good.
30:09You can see that
30:11you've got to be
30:11getting a couple
30:12of these things
30:12for a while.
30:13It's pretty big
30:14and this is
30:16a long time
30:17I've got to be
30:18on the surface
30:19and the way
30:20I've got to be
30:21as soon as you
30:22have to be
30:27a long time
30:29in different parts
30:30of the world.
