You can get content tied to his memoir. Lets lack ook at the headlinemaking rescue, of two women from hawaii, who says unfortunate events kept them lost at sea for five months. Questions have been raised about their ordeal. In a moment, well talk to them exclusively. But first, their long journey to get here. Jennifer appel and tasha fuiavas story reads like a novel. They headed for tahiti, with their two dogs, zeus and valenti valentine. That night, a major storm knocked out the antenna. They say another storm flooded their engine. At times, they say the boat was surrounded by sharks. The women say they shot out distress signals and shot flares at passing ships. But the repeated calls for help went unanswered. We had decided we were left for dead. Reporter they drifted 5,000 miles offcourse, before being rescued by the u. S. Navy. I believed we were going to die in the next 24 hours. Reporter now, back on dry land, some are questioning their story. The u. S. Coast guard said there was an emergency beacon onboard, but they never turned it on. In a june, they made radio contact that identified itself as the sea nymph near tahiti. But they were not in distress. Appel says they never got near tahiti. And that their gps track moves that. And the major storm the women say they hit the first night of their journey, the National Weather service in honolulu says their record shows no major form system during hawaii during that time. And while the u. S. Coast guard has no plans to investigate further, many others are wondering what really happened . Jennifer and tasha are joining us exclusively. Good morning. Physically, emotionally, how are you guys doing . Nbc has been phenomenal. Uss ashland made the world a different place for us. I see the smiles. Youre happy to be back on dry land. Yes. Lets start with the first day. May 3rd. You say that first night, you faced a major storm, force 11, high winds. And it lasted for Something Like three days. What was it like to ride that storm out . Im a heavy sleeper. When she said, bunker down with the boys, i knocked out like the dead. What was it like being on that sailboat . 50foot sailboat . Im used to sailing in the hawaiian waters. Im used to small storms coming up. I didnt expect it to be what it was. I said, tasha, if i make a mistake doing this, were going to die tonight. And she said, i trust you, go ahead, have fun. By the way, im a boater, i should tell you that. If im on a threeweek trip from honolulu and tahiti, that happens to me on the first night, im turning around and going back. You didnt do that. Well, made modifications to the hull of the boat. So, the keel, the bottom part of the boat was 86. The two closest harbors, manila bay, is six foot deep. You can signal to someone youre in trouble. The National Weather service says theres small craft advisories, they had no record, no prediction, no reports of a storm of the scale that youre talking about. How do you come to terms with that . I understand fish stories. I believe that the storm advisory that they put out for the area west of the big island was anticipated to be smaller than some of the downdrafts that we saw. I will agree that if you were there, you would say the same thing i did. It felt big if you were on that sailboat. Yeah. Let me move further into this ordeal. Middle of june, june 15th. The coast guard says on an unrelated search mission, they had received a phone call from friends or family members of yours, saying we havent heard of these ladies. They got into radio contact with a boat that was called the sea nymph. They heard from the crew of the sea nymph, were fine and we should get to tahiti tomorrow. Who did they talk to . I have no idea. But garmon makes a great product. This is one of the gpss we had on our sea nymph. It shows that we were nowhere near tahiti. You never spoke to the coast guard . We did speak to the coast guard, on the third day, after we came through the storm. We saw them after we were at christmas island, when we were denied access to stop in at christmas island. And the next time we saw them was after the ashland. Can we talk about sharks . There was a part of the ordeal when you said sharks were around the boat for hours. And that they actually rammed the hull on occasion, in almost a coordinated attack. What was that like . Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. We didnt we were too ignorant to realize what was going on. And the sharks were telling us, youre in our living room and youre not leaving fast enough. And we didnt realize thats what we were being told until too late. Two things about that. Scientists say sharks dont behavior that way. Well take your story at its word. Again, im a borte. That boater. Thats when i would have pushed the distress beacon. Lets call for help. You never used the distress beacon. Why . The sharks were six inches away. And using an eperb means that in the location we were, its probably four hours to a day before the coast guard would have found us on a flyover. So, we took our chances with the man upstairs who gave us grace and allowed us to still be here today. You survived on dry goods. And you had a water purifier. Katadine. Fine. You will go back out. You will do this again . You will take a trip like this again . We wouldnt take a trip just like this again. We would take a trip with more preparation. You live from your mistakes. You prepare for what you handled. Going through what you went through, does it bother you that you come back and people are questioning whether this ordeal existed in the Pacific Ocean or existed somewhere up here . Its a unique situation. We were not expecting it. We did not call the media, the navy did. So, were enjoying the ride. And were glad to be here. Were glad to be here with you. Were glad youre safe and sound. Jen and tasha, thanks for coming in this morning. We appreciate it. No problem. Thank you very having us. Lets go to al and get a check of the weather. Thanks, matt. We have waet weathet weather. Strong storms in the plains. And snow moving across the upper midwest.

Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to.

If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots.
