the parasailing company and recognizes his boat from the shoreline. as i was driving out i saw a boat at a high rate of speed cross the stern of the man o war which is the boat that jamal was operating. it didn t dawn on me at first what was going on. then i looked and was amazed at what i saw. nearby a local cameraman is filming surfers in the area and sees the commotion. dude, what is going on? are they, like, trying to run over someone? within moments it becomes clear that the parasailing group is under attack. after he made his first pass by us after i avoided a collision, he whipped his boat around, did a 180 in the surf break and charged right back at us again. i realized that this man was deliberately trying to hit us. with no apparent provocation, captain nichols is shocked they ve become a target. but he isn t left with much time to think.
the troubled boat. the boat was actually beginning to sink rather rapidly. alex stewart, an experienced rescue diver, is lowered down from the chopper. when they placed me on the boat, i had about two seconds and then, whoosh, i was off it. alex knows there s very little time. i shouted to tina to get into the water and for her husband to go in the dinghy and get away from the sinking boat. tina doesn t want to get in the water for fear she ll lose hold of priscilla. but then a wave hits the cockpit and the dog falls into the ocean. she sees alex, and paddled toward him. we were out in the middle of the ocean, how did this dog get here? here s an added problem to the scenario. alex s first priority is rescuing tina and paul. he swims with priscilla back to the boat and focuses on tina.
island with their bull terrier priscilla. we were probably half an hour into our trip. a rogue wave shatters one of the big windows. at that stage the wave came over and hit the front of the boat which in turn caused the window to break and the water was coming in. priscilla was sitting there looking at me. and i m looking at the waves. and it s like, hmm, this is quite scary. the couple sends an urgent call for help. it s picked up by the rescue team in new zealand. 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 call 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
and since state law forbids throwing them back in the water, troy and mack mag will have to dispose of them. that was a torpedo, man! the whole floor of the bottom of the boat was covered in fish. everything was covered in slime where they were flopping around. we were covered in it. it s a small dent given the vast numbers of asian silver carp spawning in u.s. waters. troy and mac say they got 300 pounds of carp in all. and we know that s no fish tale. all my years of being in the outdoors hunting and fishing and boating, i ve never seen anything like this. whoa! look at this! finally, fish aren t the only thing to come flying out of the water. one morning news program in san diego hopes to kick off its broadcast with a splash. we re at the san diego yacht
meanwhile, priscilla is fighting 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 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 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. 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.
