The Saga of the Rose Noelle

John Glennie, a Yelm resident, who was a boat builder and captain of the Rose Noelle, was interviewed by a Japanese Television for a documentary about his book that describes his 119 days spent adrift when his boat capsized. He says miracles brought him home. He holds the unofficial world record for survival in cold climate. John has been Steve's friend for many years, he and Steve built Steve's mom's home together over 10 years ago.
