And what about philosophically for you?

You say that at some point...

Someone saw some fins breaking the water.

They were belonging to orcas, killer whales.

Oh, God, that must have put the fear of God into you all.

Yes, it did.

Were they circling around you or what?

How were they around you?

All right, so they weren't hungry like sharks, they were just curious like dolphins, in other words.

Then at some point...

You say that a kind of collective delirium took over the group because you've been in the water for days and days and days.

It's freezing cold.

Someone has died.

You're all very, very hungry.

Water is a bit hard to come by.

You're losing hope.

What form did that delirium take?

The life raft was being pulled away, then towards the coast, pulled away towards the coast, and you came up close enough, closer than ever up to the Tasman Peninsula and managed finally after nine days at sea to get yourselves ashore into this rocky inlet called Deep Glen Bay, one of the most isolated parts of Tasmania.

Yeah.

So you're in this remote, wild inlet that's barricaded with rocky cliffs and dense, dense forestry.
