Nineteen Darcy Deefholts lives in a small village of Wooli on the coast of the Australian state of Nový South Wales and on Wednesday 9th July in the afternoon he went on a bicycle with his surf board on the beach. But when he did not return home in the evening, his family began to worry, so she turned to the police.
In a moment, it became clear that Darcy probably got into considerable trouble because his clothes and bike were found on the beach. “I didn’t lose hope, but there wasn’t much left,” Darcy’s father Terry said later.
The search on the ground and at sea was deep into the night, until one in the morning, but to no avail. It did not help that Darcy left both a mobile phone at home and a smart watch that could theoretically help with its localization, the website said Fox News Referring to the Australian media.

But when the search teams went to the event again, they were more successful. Darcy was found around nine o’clock on the unpaid island of North Solitary, which is located about 13 kilometers from the coast and has only a lighthouse.
The young man was slightly hypothermia at the moment, but he did not suffer any injuries, so it was possible to say shortly after his transport to the hospital that he was in a stable condition and that he was “in a good mood”.
A certain mystery could be how Darcy could have gone so far, when at the time of his surfing in the area there was basically total peace of mind both in the sky and at sea. However, Matthew McLlennan, the maritime rescue commander, pointed out that further from the coast around Wooli is a relatively strong stream pointing from north to south, and it is likely that Darcy plunged into it and was unable to get out of it.
