"For a minute there I was thinking, 'This is very bad. There's no one around,'" Stuart Bee said. Crew members Robert Lynch and Jack Hendrix said the sight of the castaway in the middle of the ocean will stick with them forever. "Next thing you know, Chase is upstairs saying, 'It's a person! Help him! It's a person,'" Hendrix recalled in the interview with WPBF. Lynch added, "You have to help. And that's just what we were doing." Lynch said he grabbed a life preserver and tossed it to the man, who dove onto the ring. Cornell and his crew said that when they got the man, who was wearing a life jacket, aboard their 18-foot boat, he recounted a harrowing journey that started in Bimini, Bahamas, two days earlier.
