miles from land, a powerful rogue wave shatters one of the vessel s big windows. at that stage, the wave came over and actually hit the front of the boat which, in turn, caused the window to break and the water is coming in. priscilla was sitting there looking at me. and i m looking at the waves and it was just like, hmm, this is quite scary. the couple sends an urgent call for help. it it s picked up by the west rescue team in new zealand. the hotline rang. so, i thought here we go. what we got now? we were told it was a boat in distress and if we could go out and try to find it. the mayday calls gives only a vague position. the pilot knows finding the boat will be tough. the rescue helicopter actually went over us. it didn t see us because of the squalls in the water. it s now a nerve-racking 25 minutes since the rescue call was made. and at any moment, the tormenter may sink. finally, the rescue crew spots the troubled boat.
her own battle with the waves. on his third attempt, alex gets the harness around tina and they hoist her up. once i started to be lifted, i thought, well, this is great. this is my rescue. by now, the boat is nearly under water entirely and the dog is nowhere in sight. paul is bleeding badly from a cut on his arm as alex secures his hoist up. the couple watches as the tormenter sinks, presumably with priscilla. the paramedics couldn t see priscilla anywhere around the boat. it appeared that all had been lost. but as the chopper turns to leave, the tenacious bull terrier suddenly appears clinging to the last visible piece of the tormenter. i couldn t believe the dog was still there. i thought the dog unfortunately drowned. all eyes turned to alex. does he have the energy to go back down?
