Survivors UPDATE: “I just said, ‘Kick Andy! Kick! Swim! We’ve got our children to look forward to!’ And I just pushed and pushed, and eventually I just saw the boat coming down and said 'We’ve got to clear this or we’re going to drown,' ” he recalled.
They eventually made it to solid ground and climbed on some rocks.
“I didn’t have the strength anymore. I was tired from the swimming. The swim to the shore was about 80 to 100 metres, I would estimate it at,” he said. “I know looking back now with the ship lying there it looks like it was just a walk to this, but believe me it wasn’t.”
The couple finally reached the top of the rocks. They sat and turned to watch the ship.
“It just rested, and that’s where it stopped,” said Davis. (CBC News. Jan 15, 2012. LINK)
