Paragraph 1
Many of us spend
dreaming of getting away from it all - of getting
from the madding crowd. Two men from the Solomon Islands
did just that and spent 29 days escaping the rat
. They got lost at sea for over four weeks. Livae Nanjikana and Junior Qoloni set off from Mono Island on September the 3rd in a
motorboat to travel 200km to New Georgia Island. It was a
they had embarked on
times before. Soon after they set out, they were hit by a
which played havoc with their navigation system. They lost their ability to detect their
or find their bearings at sea. The storm blew them off
and they ended up off the coast of Papua New Guinea.
