Q: Last week you saved a man's life. Was it the first time you pulled a sailor from the sea?
A: No, it's like the sixth guy I think I've pulled out of the water. Once I pulled three guys out of the water; had to get in a survival suit and jump in the water, and they were almost dead. It was summer time, so it was a lot warmer. These guys were in 52 degree water. The guy that owned the boat, the guy I saved, got a tattoo of my boat on his arm, Arctic Nomad. The other guy I pulled out, it was too late to save him. You can see when Josh White comes on my boat his arms and legs work, he's got colour, and he's moving around. Once he starts moving, he turns white, he loses control of his limbs, that's hypothermia. He was really close to being in trouble. So, no it was not the first time.
