Ben Carlin tribute in Australia

Post by ollygolf » Tue Apr 03, 2018 8:28 pm

Hi
In , 2016, our GPA, myself and a couple of other guys took part in the filming for the Channel 7 show "Sunday Night" that was about the Ben Carlin adventure. For the show, we turned our GPA into a reproduction of the Half Safe. Attached is the end result of the show that finally aired last Sunday. The filming involved quite a big budget from the show that sent the reporter to Western Australia, Japan, and USA - as well as 4 days of filming with us including 5 hours solid in the ocean. I think the production and filming was amazing - though too short at 14 minutes. With my GPA, salt water preventative was used before the swim and immediately upon getting to land and repeatedly over the following days. There have been no adverse results from the encounter with the ocean, which was strictly a one off.
Enjoy the show. Below is the link, though the download time varies. cheers Craig
