Happy to have made it to Martins Bay :)


The trip was cut short when shit went down! As we where leaving the bar Sara swam, Greg went in to save her. after Greg spending 30min in the water and Sara all most 2 hours, they got rescued by a chopper. meanwhile Rata and I where out the back felling very helpless... we got a ride back to Milford sounds with a fishing boat.

I would like to Thank every one that was involved with our rescue and every one that helped us after we made it back on land!!
