A sailor left clinging to an old fishing buoy has spent almost 24 hours bobbing in the Pacific Ocean after watching in horror as his ship sailed into the dark without him.
Chief engineer Vidam Perevertilov toppled from the Silver Supporter s deck without a lifejacket about 4am on February 16 as the vessel made its routine supply run between Tauranga and Pitcairn Island.
Perevetilov later told his son he had been feeling dizzy after finishing his night shift in the engine room and went on deck to recover, only to tumble into the drink.
