My father once told me that Can't can only do nothing but lay down and die, and today is not that day.

Stories like this remind you how unforgiving the ocean used to be. One mistake or one storm and the world could simply lose you.

Michael Poole's knowledge certainly saved them and allowed them to survive winter.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMsEdo-mYTA&t=2015">33:35</a>: 'It looks like something a child might build as a fort.' 😲It looks amazing, and I wonder how many modern people would be capable of building it, even under good conditions.

I remember reading the book "The Castaways of Disappointment Island" 20 something year ago, and again a few years ago. It is an amazing story. They also have one of the coracle boat's in Christchurch Museum that was taken back to New Zealand by the steamer which rescued them.
