Exclusive: How the fishermen survived

 

by Mat Churchill

Daniel Harris, Kane Uebergang, and Trevor Mandersloot , the three fishing buddies whose boat capsized and sunk off Wentworth Reef some five kilometres from shore, share their remarkable story with you.

While there have been differing versions of the events of last Saturday reported in the media, events which involved a freak boating accident, a giant tiger shark, a marathon five hour swim, and eventual search and rescue, now you can watch the men who experienced it all first hand tell the story of what really happened.
