Adding fuel to the media bonfire that was the incident, the company behind the now infamous swimming trunks, Budgy Smuggler, posted their support for the men on their Instagram account wishing the group a speedy and safe return home. 。
To win the Photo of the Month it always helps if there's a little bit of a story behind the photo. I think it's safe to say the Budgy 9 are in the lead for October.
