Tim Shaddock and his dog, Bella, were rescued after spending two months adrift.
He had set off from the coast of Mexico in April on his catamaran, intending to sail to French Polynesia, thousands of miles to the west. But a few weeks into the journey, a violent storm knocked out the electronics on board.
Mr Shaddock, 51, managed to stay alive by catching and eating raw fish, collecting rainwater and sheltering from the sun inside the catamaran. He was eventually spotted by a helicopter that was operating with a tuna trawler and rescued after two months adrift.
