Disaster at Sea
He told her exactly what happened, and that his story dates back to July 20th in 2012. At the time, Paul was sailing towards his home in Tahsis in British Columbia. Things can quickly take a turn when you’re out on the open sea, which he learned all too well by the events of that day.
Paul didn’t have any problems for a majority of the trip, and he was enjoying the calm ocean waters and clear skies. A surprising turn of the weather would result in everything going south, with Paul eating his earlier thoughts that nothing could be better than being out on the open sea that day.
Colliding With Rocks
His last day on the trip was seemingly going to be smooth sailing, but that afternoon he was on a collision course with an out-of-the-blue thunderstorm. Over the span of just a few minutes, Paul came face to face with his biggest nightmare, fighting for survival.
As the seas turned more turbulent, Paul relied on his skills and experience to carry him through. He could do nothing about the oncoming rocks that the boat would crash into mid-storm, and in the panic of the moment, Paul left the boat and all his possessions (including the camera), only to watch it sink down into the depths right in front of him.
