I turned the boat to go with the wave, which in hindsight probably wasn't the best call.

I don't like sitting there.

I missed a lot of time to think about it.

This wave just kind of picked up the boat and white water filled the entire cockpit and the boat was slammed down onto its side, massed into the water and Ruby and I were

thrown out of the cockpit into the water by that wave.

We were trying to swim towards them, but the boat was drifting further downwind from us.

It was drifting faster than we could swim.

And then, yeah, I saw the next wave hit the boat.

Crew was all up on deck by this point.

A similar size wave to what had hit us first came through, knocked the boat down again.

They all managed to hold on to the boat somehow.

And then the boat righted itself again.

But by that point, it had taken on too much water and it just started sinking.

So we got together and I can't remember who asked it, but someone said, where's Banjo?

And we kind of called his name out a couple of times.

He's not going to make this.

We just have to let that go.

And that's the only time that Ruby cried, I think, during the whole day, through everything that happened.

yeah when she realized banjo was gone she she burst into tears and i said there's there's nothing we can do about that right now we need to just focus on getting ourselves through this and that was the last we ever saw of him however painful now is not the time to mourn the remaining crew members find themselves in an incredibly dangerous position one they must start taking immediate steps to resolve

There's the five of us floating in the middle of the ocean.
