Earlier this week, sailor Tim Shaddock and his dog Bella were miraculously rescued after spending three months together cut adrift in the Pacific Ocean. Which is why it makes it all the more heartbreaking that they can now no longer be together 💔
: ‘You’re living very much from day to day. You have to have a very positive mental attitude to get through this kind of ordeal and not give up.’
Despite being well-provisioned, the storm left him without electricity, navigation systems or the ability to cook, meaning both he and Bella were living off raw fish.The last time he saw land was in early May as he sailed out of the Sea of Cortez and into the Pacific during a full moon. It also said that the crew gave them medical attention, food and hydration before they were hauled to the city of Manazillo in Mexico.
‘I feel really good. I’ve been struggling – the health was pretty bad for a while. I was pretty hungry and I didn’t think I’d make it through the storm.Grupomar president Antonio Suarez and Tim Shaddock together during a welcoming ceremony after the sailor was rescued
