Maurice and Maralyn Bailey's Castaway Journey | E90

Maurice and Maralyn Bailey's Castaway Journey | E90

Today we have a guest on the show, Alvero Cerezo. Alvero has created an incredible business called Docastaway in which he transports his clients to desert islands (or as most of you may know them as deserted islands). He fell in love with the beauty and isolation that desert islands offer at a young age and has taken that passion and shared it with others who would never otherwise have the experience. Alvaro has had an interest in castaway stories since his childhood and he has had the opportunity to speak to a number of castaways himself. One of these such castaways is Maurice Baley. Alvaro had the opportunity to befriend Maurice and hear the story first hand.

Maurice and his wife Maralyn Bailey, were a British married couple who, in 1973, embarked on a journey that turned into an extraordinary tale of survival. The couple sold all of their things and bought a yacht. Their intended journey in 1973 was from Southampton, England, to New Zealand. They set sail on their 31-foot yacht Auralyn with the plan to reach New Zealand, passing through the Panama Canal in February and heading towards the Galapagos Islands. However, their voyage took a tragic turn when their yacht was struck by a whale on March 4, 1973, leading to a series of events that resulted in their survival at sea for 118 days on a rubber raft in the Pacific Ocean. They later wrote a book titled 117 Days Adrift, despite their actual ordeal lasting longer than 117 days.

Join us today as we delve into the fascinating world of Docastaway and explore the incredible story of Maurice and Maralyn Bailey—a testament to the will to survive, resilience in the face of adversity, and the unwavering support the couple provided each other to keep going against all odds.

John Colter's Run: John Colter Runs for his Life as Blackfeet Worriers Chase him on Foot | E53

Today I will be telling you the story of John Colter’s run. We are stepping into the past for this one, into the 1800s. John Colter was one of the first “mountain man” as he spent months alone in the wilderness. John was a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition from 1804-1806. Although he was a part of this memorable expedition, he is also remembered as the first European man to set foot into Yellowstone national park and to see the Tetons. In 1809 while trapping beavers on the Jefferson river, Colter and his friend John Potts were surrounded by several hundred Blackfeet Indians, and Colter was forced to run for his life.
