As a fixer you find yourself in some pretty strange situations, but it doesn’t get much stranger than clinging for dear life to a rock in the middle of the ocean off the coast of Ecuador while being pounded by wind and waves.
It all started, as these things usually do, with a short and unexpected email inquiring about my fixing services for the Ecuador episode for No Reservations. Literally moments before my girlfriend and I had just finalized plans and bought the tickets for a trip to Europe which we had been planning all year, but decided to put it all on hold so I could take the job.
