Aurimas Mockus's solo mission across the Pacific from San Diego to Brisbane ended unexpectedly when Tropical Cyclone Alfred capsized his boat, the Kursis. Despite battling intense conditions for three days and losing communication with his support team, he survived and was rescued by an Australian naval ship. Mockus expressed the emotional toll and physical strain during the ordeal, highlighting his determination to return to his family. His experience serves as a testament to human resilience in the face of life-threatening challenges.
I was like a cat in a washing machine, focusing on keeping the promise to my wife and children to return.
These last three days in the ocean I have to many times fight for my life, because my boat is sinking.
