No boat, debris everywhere.

And then it was kind of time to make a plan.

Ruby had said to me, Dad, my leg's really sore.

And I kind of said, can you lift it up so I can see?

And immediately when she lifted it out of the water, I could tell that she had a broken leg.

It was just flopping about.

I remember saying to her, you've definitely got a broken leg, but there's nothing I can do about it for you right now.

You're just going to have to hang in there and you need to get us out of this situation first and then we can deal with that.

And then she took that on.

She went, yep, I understand.

And, you know, you could tell she was in pain the whole time, but she never once complained about it after that.

And I just thought that was really, really brave of her to be able to do that.

Her 11-year-old girl was just blown away by her staunchness, I guess.

With me having to tow Ruby, I couldn't really keep up with the way the other crew were swimming.

So we kind of came together and spread apart.

We came together and spread apart a couple of times just because the sea was so chaotic as well.

There was a couple of times that a big breaking wave was coming over, and I'd say to Ruby, OK, ready for a breath hold, right?

I'd breath me out, and we'd dunk under there.

the way and let it pass over, let it roll us.

And then we pop up the other side and then repeated that a few times until we were through the part where the waves were breaking on the reef.
