Rescued B.C. sailor a “real survivor”

62-year-old physics instructor rescued off Australian coast

62 year-old Paul Lim—the Victoria sailor rescued off the coast of Western Australia Monday—has been called “a real survivor” by sailing friends and university students. The veteran soloist (he once navigated the Amazon in a kayak built by natives) was an extremely popular sessional physics instructor at the University of Victoria, and lived on a boat in James Bay prior to his last sailing excursion.
