Show Transcript LEFT THE YACHT CLUB. WHAT THEY ENDED UP CATCHING WAS SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT. NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE. YOU HAVE TO DO IT. YOU HAVE TO HELP. IT WAS A VERY EYE-OPENING AND HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE THAT HE WENT THROUGH. ARI: AND ONE HE SURVIVED, BUT ONLY BECAUSE A CHARTER BOAT OUT OF FORT PIERCE HAPPENED TO FIND HIM. THE SOUTHERN EAGLE WAS ONLY 20 MILES OUT WHEN CAPTAIN CHASE CORNELL SPOTTED SOMETHING ON THE RADAR. I TOLD THE GUYS THAT MAY BE WE FOUND SOMETHING TO GO FISHING ON. THEY GOT RODS READY DOWNSTAIRS. ARI: A FEW MOMENTS LATER, CORNELL REALIZED IT WASN’T A FISH. I SAW THE GENTLEMAN RAISE HIS HAND AND START WAVING AT ME. IT’S A PERSON!
