@davewalker Dave, thanks! Both my young Grand'ters enjoyed your "extra-bikes" cartoon, even tho the 10-yr old is still afraid to try riding! We also like the little fold-up booklet you led readers to. --And we also worship Anglican style nowadays, where one must "pass the peace", etc. Fun.😄

I remember reading about them years ago and would love to see a movie. They said they'd survived with help from God.
More info 🚨 In 1966, a group of six teenagers were discovered living on the Tongan island of Ata. The man who found them, an Australian adventurer by the name of Peter Warner, was shocked to learn that they’d gone missing 15 months earlier. As they explained, they’d taken a fishing boat out from the harbour at Nuku’alofa, 160 kilometres to the south, for a bit of ill-conceived adventure. After the boat was damaged in a storm, they’d drifted without water or food for eight days before finally washing up on the shores of Ata. There they’d built a hut and a fire, and survived on a diet of fish, banana,papaya. This story was big news at the time, and Sydney-based photographer John Carnemolla was dispatched to the island alongside the boys to capture how they’d been living. The teenagers’ story made international headlines, but was subsequently forgotten until May last year, when it was finally resurfaced by author Rutger Bregman. Until now, none of the boys had given a complete podcast interview of their ordeal. Here, 74-year-old Sione Filipe Totau, better known as Mano, describes his experience as a 19-year-old on the island of Ata. FYI, I focus on adding context to social media posts that often lack it.
