four hours as she and her two youngest children struggled to survive the whipping winds and wild ocean, Joanne was tormented by whether she had made the right decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cAs the sun went down I thought, \u2018something\u2019s gone terribly wrong here\u2019, and my fear was that Austin didn\u2019t make it . . . everything goes through your head,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">The drama in the ocean off WA\u2019s south-west coast last Friday was in stark contrast to

about 11am.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">While the water \u201cseemed nice and calm to begin with,\u201d conditions gradually deteriorated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">At first it was Austin who struggled against the strengthening current on a paddle board, and as Joanne tried to guide him back to the beach, her board flipped and she lost a paddle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Beau then tried to tow them both in with the kayak, but in the chaos the second paddle got lost and the kayak began taking on water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">As the current dragged them further from shore, Austin traded with Beau and attempted to paddle them to safety, but was no match for the unrelenting conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">The four were powerless against the growing swell and, despite several hours of paddling, they continued being dragged further out to sea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">It was then, between 1.30pm and 2pm, Joanne made that heart-wrenching decision to see if Austin could make his way back to shore to save them all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Despite his determination, the wind and the waves were doing him no favours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI knew it would be a long way, but the kayak kept taking on water,\u201d he said. \u201cI was fighting rough seas, the kayak dumped me a million times, I thought I saw something in the water and I was really scared but I was just thinking I was going to make it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"css-kn3rvr-StyledPNFigure eq8qgnw2\"><picture

e8utp6u0\">Austin rotated between survival backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle for the next two hours, and did what he could to occupy his mind with happy thoughts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI was thinking about all my friends at school, and friends of my Christian Youth, and I just said, \u2018not today\u2019,\u201d he said. \u201cAt one point I was thinking about Thomas the Tank Engine, just trying to get the happiest things in my head.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI\u2019ve got a girlfriend and I was thinking about her the whole time.

My family\u2019s out at sea\u2019. I think it was just a lot of shock,\u201d Austin, who hadn\u2019t eaten at all that day, said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Out in the ocean Joanne had been trying to keep Beau and Grace entertained by singing and making jokes, but morale began to slip as night fell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cAs it got darker I thought, \u2018there\u2019s no one coming to save us\u2019,\u201d she recalled. \u201cWe were cold, we were shaking, and it was pretty terrifying for a while, then I lost my glasses, so I couldn\u2019t see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Back on shore, as the rescue efforts got underway and time passed with no news, Austin began to fear the worst.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI called Dad and was bawling, I finally realised that they were gone. I thought they were dead,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI didn\u2019t know where they were and how they were, and I thought they were dead. I had a lot of guilt in my heart because I thought I wasn\u2019t fast enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">About five minutes later, he received a call saying his mum and siblings had been found.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"css-kn3rvr-StyledPNFigure eq8qgnw2\"><picture class=\"eq8qgnw1 image css-1kwj8bl-PictureWithIntrinsicRatio-StyledPNArticleImage eosncpx0\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-21505033\/1c6a1021c5361f40ff853a4741311bed44d35d1f.jpg?imwidth=100&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 100w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-21505033\/1c6a1021c5361f40ff853a4741311bed44d35d1f.jpg?imwidth=150&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 150w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-21505033\/1c6a1021c5361f40ff853a4741311bed44d35d1f.jpg?imwidth=250&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 250w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-21505033\/1c6a1021c5361f40ff853a4741311bed44d35d1f.jpg?imwidth=320&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 320w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-21505033\/1c6a1021c5361f40ff853a4741311bed44d35d1f.jpg?imwidth=414&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 414w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-21505033\/1c6a1021c5361f40ff853a4741311bed44d35d1f.jpg?imwidth=500&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 500w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-21505033\/1c6a1021c5361f40ff853a4741311bed44d35d1f.jpg?imwidth=640&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 640w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-21505033\/1c6a1021c5361f40ff853a4741311bed44d35d1f.jpg?imwidth=828&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 828w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-21505033\/1c6a1021c5361f40ff853a4741311bed44d35d1f.jpg?imwidth=1024&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 1024w,https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-21505033\/1c6a1021c5361f40ff853a4741311bed44d35d1f.jpg?imwidth=2048&amp;impolicy=pn_v3 2048w\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 668px\" data-ratio=\"16:9\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"css-16r7l45-StyledImage en5ut4d0 td-animation-stack-type0-2\" src=\"https:\/\/images.perthnow.com.au\/publication\/C-21505033\/1c6a1021c5361f40ff853a4741311bed44d35d1f.jpg?imwidth=668&amp;impolicy=pn_v3\" alt=\"Austin Appelbee swum 4km back to shore to get help for his mum and siblings resulting in their rescue. \" \/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"eixham80 figcaption css-mcrbmm-StyledPNCaption-StyledPNFigcaption eixham85\"><span class=\"css-15pqx16-StyledPNFigCaptionText eixham84\"><span class=\"css-1drr6t0-PNCaption eixham83\">Austin Appelbee swum 4km back to shore to get help for his mum and siblings resulting in their rescue.\u00a0<\/span>Credit:\u00a07NEWS\/7NEWS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI thought it was fake.
