Although it's hard to admit, I...
I guess you were right... in the end.
Cheers.
But, I love you guys... and I hope...

Really good to see ya'.

No chance.

(REPORTERS YELLING)
Did you have any doubts that you'd make it?
- Not one.
- Why's that?
Faith... abiding faith.
- Mr. Glennie, I presume?
- Ah, yeah.
Ross Laing, Marine Transport
Division. This is Captain McKinley.
Do you mind if we ask you a few questions?
No.
Did you keep a log book, Mr. Glennie?
Yeah.
Any idea where it is now?
JOHN (V.O.):
This was so unexpected.Are you serious? Christ! Can't this wait?
If you want us to believe your story,
Mr. Glennie, you'd better co-operate.
JOHN (V.O.):
Afterall we'd been through.
What did you do for food and water all
the time you were supposedly adrift?
Um...
Rick?
Oh, Rick, darling.
[KAREN] Oh, darling.
JOHN (V.O.):
I struggled to comprehendhow we could have survived...
so much and yet be and
treated with such suspicion.
I don't know what these men
have been doing for 119 days...
but they haven't been
drifting on the ocean.
JOHN (V.O.):
And itwas only the beginning.
We had no inkling of what
we were about to walk into.
(BABY CRYING)
Damn it! Mattie, please?
Ssh...
ANNOUNCER (OVER RADIO): Many people are
wondering, what power and spirit they had...
these four men who spent July, August and
September adrift on the Pacific Ocean.
ANNOUNCER #2 (ON TV): Ministry
of Transport officials...
are to retrace the 119-day voyage of the
Rose Noelle with the use of a computer.
CALLER 1 (OVER RADIO): They
look too good to be true.
I mean no salt sores, far too well fed,
what did they eat out there all that time?
CALLER #2 (OVER RADIO): Who the
hell do they think they're kidding?
Bloody drug smugglers, I reckon. They're
having us on and it's all bull...
CALLER #3 (OVER RADIO): I
don't believe a word of it.
How can they be floating around for
so long without someone seeing them?
It's just impossible. It's just...
CALLER #4 (OVER RADIO): Okay, mate.
It's just not humanly possible.
I know what conditions are
like that time of year.
No yacht's gonna stay afloat
for even half that time, mate.
REPORTER (ON TV): Amid the euphoria, relief
and sheer joy at the survival of the crew...
The Transport Minister has asked
for a preliminary investigation...
into the crew members' claims
of the 120-day ordeal...
which has attracted
widespread scepticism.
So what do you say, John,
in response to those...
who don't believe you? Is
there an alternative story?
You know, I... I couldn't give
Jim, check it out. John's on the tele.
We were adrift all that time.
Survived only because we were careful
and clever and looked after each other.
For the rest of my life, I'll be
grateful to Phil and Rick and Jim.
Under the circumstances, they were
the best men I could have hoped for.
If you're watching
this, guys, I thank you.
REPORTER (ON TV): We needed
a miracle and we got one.
Skipper John Glennie claims his yacht was
capsized by a huge wave 3 days into their voyage.
Ah, bullshit.
No, no, babe. Hey, it's all right.
REPORTER (ON TV): But
now after surviving...
119 days drifting at sea, the Rose
Noelle broke up in a storm yesterday.
wreck yesterday by helicopter...
accompanied by marine division investigators
who are trying to piece together...
the final voyage of the Rose Noelle.
Empty.
Do you wanna have a look at this?
I might've been wrong.
REPORTER (ON TV): It's perhaps New Zealand's
most miraculous survival story ever.
How four men in an upturned boat could
drift on the high seas without trace...
live to tell the story.
So remarkable was their tale of survival, that
some began to doubt that it ever happened.
backs up the incredible saga.
This inquiry with detailed
scientific evidence...
supporting it has demonstrated
that this is absolutely true...
and it is in fact is one of the great
stories of human survival on the seas.
The Rose Noelle skipper, John Glennie,
describes the report as fair and thorough.
Glennie says it answers
JOHN (V.O.):
Sadly, eight months afterour return, Rick died of a brain tumor.
Jim helped take care of him
and then trained as a nurse.
Phil went back to sea.
He even made several voyages across
the Pacific and fathered another child.
