But what about if you’re a lone sailor and you fall off your yacht in the middle of nowhere? A month ago it happened to John Deer in shark-infested waters off Panama. And just how the Aussie adventurer survived the freak accident undoubtedly makes him the luckiest, unlucky bloke in the world.

    Jack Smith and his friends spent four days building their own pool so it was ready in time for the heatwave.

    The group spent two days building the project, using hay bales and silage wrap to create a pit that they lined with tarpaulin, and then two more days filling it with water.
