Saved

This autobiography tells the story of one of the most remarkable feats of modern survival, focusing on the extraordinary efforts of Australian rescue services and HMAS Adelaide, which rescued sailor Tony Bullimore from the Southern Ocean on 10th January 1997. Bullimore spent nearly five days in an air pocket inside his capsized yacht hull. Despite losing the tip of his left little finger and suffering from hypothermia, dehydration, and frostbite, he was in remarkably good condition. The book narrates his attempt to complete the Vendee Globe round-the-world race, his life in Bristol, and his survival instincts in the middle of the ocean, 1500 miles southwest of Australia.
