FabSwingers.com forum: real life castaway found..

whilst filming on a remote island off the Australian coast, the crew from Animal Planets 'River Monsters' spotted something that they thought shouldn't be there...upon closer inspection it appeared to be a large yellow cooler so they landed on the island to recover it. Just as they were returning to their boat a man can running out of a nearby cave, waving his arms about and shouting 'save me, save me!'

turns out the man had got lost when he left his boat to look for oysters and became disorientated ...it was estimated he had been on the island for around 60 hours, with no water or supplies and had suffered severe heat stroke...he had just prepared himself to meet his maker by saying his prayers when he spotted the boat......

the man later made a full recovery..

I do like a happy ending
