@taniwharugby Hard to believe that was almost 30 years ago, remember it vividly.
Distinctly recall the noise about the cost of the rescue. Ignoring two key points:
- It's in our sphere of responsibility so we're obligated as a country.
- The vast majority of the costs are sunk given they came out of the military. You're paying for it anyway.
The fact he kept himself alive for so long and had the calmness of mind to ensure he maximised his chances were impressive.
Although when he capsized again years later I had some sympathy for the calls to tell him to give it up.

Richard Harris
I used to stop in at his favourite near-theatre pub occasionally.
I would say very much no, but Reed was in a class of his own.
When Jimmy Webb (a legendary imbiber himself) was frightened of drinking with Harris, you have to be in awe of Reed.

Think he missed the signals...

I was at a wedding in Spain a few years back.
It was about 2am, and we had retreated to the residents' bar - a few sheets to the wind. I step outside to the terrace with my non-rugby fan mate and after a moment I notice that Nigel fucking Owens is standing beside us with a couple of mates.
I'd usually be pretty respectful and not bother people, but hey it's a wedding and he must be staying at the hotel. So I say hello to him, and he looks over at me with that grin we all know and love. I turn to my mate and explain who he is, how he's the greatest referee in any sport. But midway through I notice that Nige is staring at me like I've shat on his toe. I mean he's looking at me with utter contempt, I kid you not. He promptly then turns away and proceeds to ignore us. Wasn't expecting a hug, but I was a bit disappointed.
So me and my mate go back inside and one of the other lads who is a rugby fan asks did we spot who was standing beside us on the terrace. I say yeah Nigel Owens, but he was a bit rude.
My mate: "That's Jonathan Davies."
