First signal mirror save (that I know of) in 2024!
Will Fransen of New Zealand fell overboard 35km east of New Zealand on January 2, 2024.
He had to tread water for 23 hours before he was able to attract the attention of three passing fishermen ~600 meters distant by reflecting sunlight from the face of his wristwatch.
