Castaway crew members were left a bit wet and soggy today when a boat they were traveling in capsized and ruined a load of expensive equipment. The crew had urged local people to stay away from the area they are using for the show, but were glad of their help when two local fishermen came to their aid.

“They were out in a dingy and it suddenly shot up in the air, flipped backwards and went upside-down,” one of the fishermen told New Zealand’s Sunday News.

“I notified marine radio and went to see if I could help. They were fine but I think they lost a lot of equipment,” he said.

“There were oars, cellphones and all sorts floating in the water.”
