Far out, that gave me goose bumps. I can only imagine the panic!! Well done on doing what it took to get you and your lady home safe.
I don't think people in the comments realize how hard this must have been. Jack is an avid waterman, a big bloke and in good shape. Swimming for 1 hour against the current would probably lead most people to a point of exaustion where they wouldn't be able to keep a float. He probably swam for a much longer time.
This was surely a life changing experience, for both of you. Can't imagine how powerless Fran must have felt in the beach watching you and the boat both fade away.
Keep safe, cheers.
Don't you mean how avoidable this was?????
@@espenforfen1334 how so brains trust? Please enlighten us all with your profound wisdom.......
@@espenforfen1334 you have no context for how they secured their boat. You really don’t know all the circumstances that lead to the boat drifting off. I wonder if your parents think how avoidable your life was?
@@It-b-Blair to be fair he's right and you proved this further by saying they didn't show how secure it was. Weather clear, there doens't seem to be much wind nor current. From someone that owns a boat fairly larger than his, trust my word on this, no way this happens if you check your location before anchoring. You should check with your mom however if they didn't drop you on the floor as a baby, to start throwing insults out of the blue lmao
He was swimming for Fran. Who wouldn't.
Hi it’s George from rockhampton you were very lucky and so was I A similar thing happened to me out on the swain reefs about 80 miles out We were spearfishing about 35 years ago from a 30 ft yacht when I looked up and couldn’t see the yacht so I swam onto the reef stood on a rock and to my horror I saw the yacht drifting about 1 to 1;5 kms away the anchor had dragged through rubble I ditched my lead belt took a bearing off a cloud near the horizon And literally swam for my life there were no islands were we were Oh I know how you felt After what seemed like 1;5 to 2 hours I made it to the back of the yacht I was totally exhausted but I made it I tried to pull myself up but couldn’t I waited for 5 mins then with all my effort pulled myself into the yacht I layer there for another 5 mins then pulled the anchor up now I was totally fkd again and dizzy again crawled to the back of the yacht kicked the motor over and headed back to the reef where my father was standing on the same rock I spotted the yacht from You bought back a memory for me that you will never forget either From then on I went down with the anchor walked on the bottom with it and half slip knotted it around a bomie I still spearfish around the Keppels now at 56 yrs old I subscribe to your ch and Brodie’s Enjoy the rest of your adventure you can find me on Facebook under the same name
That is epic 👍🏻
Glad you guys are ok. Reminds me of this time I was out kayaking with my girlfriend at one of the islands off of Cairns and the rudder broke. It was one of those foot peddle kayaks and we didn't have any ores, so there was no way to steer the kayak. We were just going around in circles and the wind started to pick up. The only thing I could do was strap on a set of fins we had and pull the kayak myself. It took about 3 Hrs to get back to land and what made it even worse was we landed nowhere near my car (We were just trying to get to land). So then I had to walk for ages to get my car and drive back to pick up the kayak and my girlfriend. My GF was pregnant at the time with our first daughter, the only thing going through my mind at the time was to get them back to land and to safety. I still cant sleep some nights remembering the whole situation and how stupid I was for letting it happen.
Everyone goes on about Fran and rightly so but Dude you are a true survivor and living legend. Without you there will be no Fran and vice versa. love your channel!
You had my experience except I got ejected off my Seadoo at a high rate of speed into extremely cold water. With the wind blowing my seadoo away from me I swam for 45 minutes to get back to my machine but I was to spent and hypothermic to get back on. I just wanted to relieve my stress after two days of funerals, one was for my Gf and the other was my really good friend. The only other boat I seen on the water that day just happened to be returning to the dock when I was trying to get back on, if it was not for him I likely would have died too. Life can really teach us who is boss sometimes! I am glad you made it, truly a scary story!
Picked up a young couple after my mate and I had done a couple of scuba dives floundering in the ocean 5 km offshore
They had been in the water for over an hour watching their JetSki disappear
They were very lucky I stumbled across them as the wind was picking up and the sunset was a couple of hours away
Finally found their JetSki 2km away doing big circles
Their lanyard wasn’t connected to his vest when they got thrown off
Very lucky
My live aboard trailer aluminium boat lost anchor on three occasions years and months apart, in the Gulf of Carpentaria, N.T. It took me 30 minutes to catch my live aboard, in my 12 foot tinny in white capped seas. It drifted 3.5 nautical miles according to my GPS.
You would still feel gutted losing those close to you. sorry, I feel sick just reading your story.
Intense situation Mate! Stoked that you’re both alright!
Cheers mate! Enjoy watching ya films.
I can never rest easy when anchored out in my boat on the reef, or when anchored off an island for this exact reason.
I felt your pain and emotion as you read back this experience. I am glad you are both ok and can continue on this amazing journey. 👍🏽
Ooooffff jeez Jack! The great adventure continues and of course the mangrove jack for dinner 👌🏼. Would love to hear Fran’s tales of stories as she stood on rocky shore watching you disappeared into horizon 🙏🏻
Holy crap dude, this upload started up so great, seeing stuff I had never seen before, and just shocked at where those fish were, and how you guys got them. I was so excited to see how excited you both were, and to see how you and Fran would cook those fish later on, and then...... Let's just say I am glad that it was you who told your tale. I don't know if you believe in the higher up, but man am I happy you and Fran are okay!!! EPIC!!!!!
Alhamdulilah. So glad you’re safe. You have a calm-gentlemanly- fighting spirit that is rather admirable. Stay safe and keep that smiling in the face of danger attitude. Really admirable.
I'm so glad you made it to the boat and you're still around to tell the story. I really enjoy your videos. Stay safe and don't EVER do that again. That could've been terrible.
Omfg that was a scary story I was on my way to start up a go fund me page just to get you guys another boat holy shit ! Well done on the marathon
Physical fitness was your saving grace, with a will to survive. It’s a life experience that will stay with you and Fran. The raw emotion when you got back to that island and saw Fran waiting. Wow, “what a day”
Im relieved to hear that you still safe and manage to get back your boat. Keep going Strick an Fran you both amazing.
I was so glad that you made it to the boat, and everything worked out for you two! That would have been scary swimming after the boat and having thoughts of sharks in the water.
Can’t thank you enough for sharing. Thank you so much for that. Your journal read was so powerfully, no video could have expressed that as well. Glad you two are safe and back in high spirits.
How far do you think you had to swim? Couldn't stop listening to this story.
Highlight of my week watching this series! Very fast heart rate listening to you read that journal entry! Also inspirational, keep up the awesome work!
Mate, i've been a big fan of the bsb channel and your work for a long time but this makes what you do very real. One of my close family friends has just been through the same experience with dire consequences. I know you won't take this for granted and if anything its a lesson for us all. Its about knowing your limits and having a plan b to z for any situation. I'm very happy it worked out for you guys and look forward to more adventures!
What a wild adventure, you were touched by an angel for sure.
Amazing. Heart and strength! Thank you for sharing that incredible experience. Fighting through it is a great lesson to learn from.
Hello , just marveling over what you had to endure in order to get back on the boat . Sometimes , you don't know what you can do until you have to .
As I am going back , looking at previous episodes in the vlog .I admire the beauty of the areas you find yourself in . Living off the trout and crayfish , delicasy here in the Americas and thanking you for sharing this extraordinary adventure .
Hi Jack. Peace be on you. I am really inspired by your channel and thank you for sharing the truth about the dangers of such an adventure and really glad that you didn't leave it out. It's a good reality check and educational as well. I pray for your continued safety and prosperity. Keep on fishing mate
Hands down, one of the best videos on youtube. As I have been following you for a while now and for you to tell that story. I went from laying down on the sofa to standing up above my laptop with my head in my hands with my heart beating!
What a rollercoaster of emotions.
WELL DONE! Truly amazing story and life event. Keep up the good work guys. Stay safe. x
absolutely chilling recount, thankful that you had the spirit and were in good enough shape for there to be a happy outcome for you and Fran
Love the story mate and glad you had the will power to keep going. Those are moments you will never forget. Can’t wait for the next episodes. 🤙🏽
Far out. Held our breaths, and onto every word you wrote. I can't even imagine. Thank you for sharing. Incredible!
I am so glad you are both okay and the great adventure continues!!
Wow!! What an amazing story. You’ll remember that till the day you die. Thanks for sharing. Loving this adventure !!
That was awesome and you’re both safe. Looking forward to the next adventure. Stay safe both of you and live the life of the great outdoors
Man honestly, so glad you made it! Thanks for the authentic video and your efforts making them! You guys are legends! Cheers
That was like the best, most epic suspense/thriller movie, I never actually watched. Thankfully you are both ok and the boat safe and sound.
Two questions: How do you get drinking water & how did you and Fran meet? Amazing story. This is the fourth video I've watched back to back after discovering your channel randomly. You're right. After even the first video, I was like "I wanna do this...". After this one? I still wanna do it but MAN is that a reality check. My heart was pounding as I listened. I've been there during military training where you thought you literally couldn't go on but HAD to - but that was on LAND... Truly inspiring. The message is obvious to any who listen but you'll find the perfect way to express it I've no doubt.
That is one amazing story. Thank you for sharing the good, the bad and the ugly close call that it surely was. One can only say Praise God that you are ok, that Fran is rescued as well. So close!!! Wow. Thanks for sharing your incredible adventure. Just tops.
Fran's not keen on stabbing the fishies .....😂
The fact they quack is quite disconcerting ! LoL
That Giant Screw Conch was INSANE !! 😲
Minnesota guy here, I was bass fishing late fall and anchored the boat next to cattails to walk knee deep and cast for bass. Boat went deeper just a short way out. I took most of my clothes off to swim to it in the cold water not realizing the wind was taking it out toward the middle faster then I was swimming. Swam faster did catch it but really did think I might die. Love your videos, stay safe. My son just moved to Brisbane.
Thanks for sharing mate. That's deep, glad your ok.
man, what a story to retell some day, am so glad it all turned out ok, hope you learnt to always make sure the boat is secured! loving your adventure by the way, its great to know there are some wild slightly touched corners out there.
So glad you both made it safe and so, let the adventure still continue.
Truly inspiring and the message is clear as day “never give up “
Feel like you could write a bestseller as that scenario was well written on paper. Happy you are safe and I love ur channel
Ugh, I'm sure I'm not the only one listening and recall events when I was under extreme duress. Glad you pulled through
Hey guys that was so intense I’ve come across You guys on RUclips and you blow my mind putting it out there to to all my mates to watch this you guys rock absolutely amazing thank God you Got the boat mate absolute legend when the mine takes over you can do anything
Incredible story! And what a day of fishing in the mangroves. I’m glad you made it to the boat safely.
Cheers for sharing mate, i can imagine the panic feeling, glad you made it so you could upload this vid of the jacks😂 epic!
Wow! That is so bloody scary and you did an amazing job getting to the boat! God bless you and Fran!!
Thanks for sharing your story, so good mate!!
Persistence and courage!
Awesome adventure. I admire you for your endurance. I am sure Fran was happy to see you back WITH the boat as well 😊
Ya made dog, thats livin it, keeping the dream alive, you have an awesome sence of adventure mate, thanks for sharing
The same story happened to my dad a couple years ago, had to swim hours after the boat, glad you survived this, you have to be very strong mentally and physically of course, and looks like you are both!
Thanks for sharing. Glad your safe. Enjoy..
Hectic bud.
Glad it all worked out, Loving this series cannot get enough!!!
Well done mate. I find humor in asking yourself if you wanted adventure. My 25' sailboat got away from its mooring and beached on rocks at high tide. As I waited for high tide to return as the sun set, I asked myself, well you wanted to be a sailor. Determination beats all.
Thanks for sharing your boating story and the lesson to never give up!💪
I asked for the good and bad times in my last comment and it has come true. The description of the situation was absolutely amazing. What we as humans can do, dig deep and push ourselves beyond the limits. This has got to be the best episode so far. Unreal. Stay safe and keep it coming.
You bloody legend! Well done for saving the day/adventure!!
What an episode! Glad you both are safe...
This is awesome mate! Love what you're doing and how you've documented it.
I live near Glasgow, Scotland. Been out to Oz 5 times mostly to do nature photography. I have just found your videos and I WILL watch them all as that is the way I wanted my time to be. Marine life is my favourite topic, and I've had a mixture of boats including a 23ft Baha Fast Fisher with a 5.7ltr inboard which I would love to have had in Oz. Keep living the life guys.
Your videos keep getting better, thanks for sharing this real experience as bad as it was for you and Fran.
Glad you guys are safe! Amazing adventures!!
This along with the All 4 Adventure roll over would have to be the gnarliest moments going! You are adventure level 💯!!!
Amazing effort! Well done & great episode. Loved the mangrove hunting.
Most epic trial bro,u had me on the edge with that story.glad u here to tell the story. Great times on the push eh
Amazing episode mate. Your story was amazing and I listened intently to your reading back of the events

Loving all of this stuff guys, so so awesome
Man . Best episode yet ! Love the content from you guys and had me biting my nails to the elbow with the story at the end.
I actually said “well done mate” to the TV when you reached the boat.
Stay safe and keep doing what your doing Love the channel. Oh and get a bigger anchor ...Peace
Yoh....... That's friken scary..... Good job you are fit!! And thanks for sharing, I'm sure there's many who'll take extra care moving forward!!
Wow, incredible stamina man. I remember once I got in trouble taking a dare to swim across a lake and back. I didn't want to give in, but on the way back, I had to just float on my back. Thankfully no waves. It's great that you lived to tell the tale.
What an incredible experience and way you handled it.. Character building stuff.. I've had a couple unforgettable experiences.. So brilliant you journalled.. So limit pushing..
Utter champions great video and awesome Jacks
'Twas a Siren, tugging your vessel out to sea. Epic!
Thanks for sharing the hard stuff Strick. What a crazy story mate. We're all on the journey with you wetsuit boots n all.
Gives me shivers! Glad you made it!
That story was epic, you just earned a new subscriber.
Wow powerful episode and shows life is fragile and can be gone in a heartbeat 💗 ... glad all is well...
Roller coaster :-) Well done guys. I'm catching up slowly, with progress on episodes.....
Amazing, and Fran joking at the end is a great finish!
So glad your safe and sound guys, love from Scotland 🏴
I thought I had subscribed to your channel ages ago. Well it’s done now. What an adventure
Crazy day for you both. Glad to hear it all worked out in the end.
wow! thanks for sharing that mate, big shivers up my spine after that one
Time to get a second epirb mate to keep on you while on the islands. Love the episodes keep up the good work the both of you. Cheers
Wow. This is how one mistake can be the last, when you are living on the edge. And you are more knowledgeable than most and it still happened. I'm glad you shared this. It is a warning, of how an undertaking like this should not be taken lightly, or done by people with little to no experience. Every day we wake up is a gift, and each day can be our last one. Live each day to the fullest.
That's a crazy story.
Keep adventuring.
I love the stories all of them, yep living this life is and can be dangerous. Please stay safe. I look back on 35+ yrs camping+ hunting Central Maine. Thanks for sharing. I have read some of the other comments stories also .Bearhunter5
Great work and great honesty. Good on you.
Great episode mate, and extremely lucky ending! Glad you and Fran made it out of it safely. What a bloody yarn 👍
I am always paranoid of this exact thing happening to me! Glad it all worked out for you!
Fantastic story, amazing that you survived.
Epic story,epic recovery...so glad it had a great ending
I am amazed.....a real wildass adventure that could have been tragic . Every time you said the boat was further away when you looked up, I was sure a boat came along a drug your ass aboard . Congrats for your stamina and resolve. What was Fran thinking before you got on the boat ? Sharks, Crocs....not my favorite at all, but no danger of that at 7000 ft above sea. Thanks for the adventures, stay Safe.
Wow that must of been so scary, to leave Fran and swim away. You are one amazing man. Stay safe in the future. love your adventure.
