  Survive by unique breaststroke

  In April 2013, archibald, then 50 years old, and nine friends rented a boat to spend a holiday at sea near the Indonesian coast. In the early morning of 17th, there was a storm in the Indian Ocean, and archibald on the top deck was accidentally thrown into the sea. When he woke up, he had drifted 15 meters away from the ship.

  After floating in the water for another 13 hours, archibald was finally discovered by his companions. At this time, he was 20 kilometers away from the place where he fell into the sea. After seeing that he didn’t have breakfast, his friends contacted the Indonesian Coast Guard and the surrounding ships and started the search and rescue work.

  On the morning of 18th, a ship found archibald in the water. Miraculously, he is still alive, but his eyes are swollen and there is almost no blood on his feet, lips and hands.

  After waking up, archibald said that it was his concern for his wife and two children that got him through this. (Linxi)
