How long could you survive at sea? One day? Two? And when would you start to lose hope? When Robert Hewitt came to the ____, he realised ____ away that something was wrong. He'd been diving for sea urchins and ____ off the coast of New Zealand with a friend, and had decided to make the 200-metre swim back to ____ alone. But instead, strong underwater ____ had taken him more than half a kilometre out to sea. Lying on his back in the middle of the ocean, Robert told himself not to panic. He was a strong swimmer and he was wearing his thick ____. 'I'm not going to die. Someone will come,' he told himself. But three hours passed and still no one had come for him. Robert would soon have to make a ____ decision. He was now a ____ way from the coast and the ____ was taking him ____ out, but he decided not to try to swim for ____. He felt it was better to save his energy and hold on to his brightly coloured equipment. But the decision was not an easy one. 'I just closed my eyes and said, "You've ____ the right decision. You've made the right decision" until that's all I heard,' he remembers. As night ____, Robert established a pattern to help him survive in the water. To stay warm, he kept himself moving and took short ____ of less than a minute at a time. Every few hours, he called out to his loved ones 'Just ____ their names would pick me up and then I would keep going for the next hour and the next hour and the next.' When he woke the next morning, he couldn't believe he was still alive. Using his bright equipment, he tried to signal to planes that flew overhead. But as each plane turned away, his ____ dropped. He ____ to drink water from his oxygen ____ to keep himself alive, but as day turned to night again he started to imagine things. Robert woke on the third day to a beautiful blue sky. Now seven kilometres off the ____, Robert decided he had to swim for it. But the sun was so strong and Robert quickly ____ of strength Hope turned to disappointment yet again: 'I felt disappointed ____ myself. I thought I was a ____ fitter I thought I would be able to do it.' Robert then started to think he ____ not survive. On the fourth day, the ____ of food and water was really starting to ____ him. Half ____, and with strange visions going through his head. He thought he saw a boat coming towards him with two of his friends in. Another vision, surely. But no - 'They put me in the boat and I said something like "Oh, how's it ____, what are you guys doing here?"' Then he asked them the question that he'd asked in all his visions: 'Can I have some water?' As they ____ him the water and he felt it touch his lips, he knew. This was not a vision. He'd been found! After four days and three nights alone at sea, Robert had been found! ____, hungry and ____, but alive...
