I Pulled Three Bodies From the Sea

Brendon Prince, a sea safety campaigner from Torquay, is the first person to paddleboard along the whole coast of Great Britain. Brendon’s aim is to raise £200,000 to increase awareness of water safety. Along his mammoth journey, high winds, storms and even losing a paddle has not stopped Brendon from reaching his goal. Along his way he’s seen devious tactics by water companies who were dumping raw sewage when the weather was foggy. Brendon arrived back in his hometown on April 27th, after his 3,800 mile challenge.

Transcript from ‘I Pulled Three Bodies From The Sea’ podcast

Brendon – I set up Torbay life-saving club, ten years ago this month. I was just fed up in Torbay of what seemed a a lack of knowledge of the most basics. Even knowing that the tide goes in or out that the water in the sea gets deeper. You know these are the most basic things people didn’t know and were getting into trouble with. I set up the life-saving club to try and get as much knowledge in Torbay as possible.
