But we gotta make it quick, Fred.
We're almost at bingo fuel.
Bingo is the amount of fuel they'll need to fly back to land, so Kalt wastes no time.
He gets the basket back in position, spots the other two survivors, and starts directing Torpy towards them.
Kalt still feels terrible about losing the skipper, but he can't dwell on that now.
They've still got a chance to save more lives.
Mike DeCapua tries to swim towards the basket, but he can't seem to get his limbs to work.
Diggy Mork is basically dragging him, cursing all the way.
About 20 minutes ago, they were elated to see Bob Doyle and Mark Morley get pulled to safety.
Just as Bob and Mike reached the helicopter, it disappeared from view behind a huge wave.
But then, it was overhead again, lowering the basket.
After a few more tries, it finally dropped close enough for Mike and Gigi to make a dash for it.
Somehow, they reach the basket, and both manage to climb in.
But as soon as it begins to rise, a wave crashes into them, plunging both men and the entire basket underwater.
For what feels like the millionth time, Mike holds his breath and waits for the wave to spit him back out.
But this time, he's also trying to cling to the basket, which the wave has sent spinning like a top.
He can feel himself getting dizzy, losing his balance and his grip.
The basket resurfaces, taking Mike and Gigi along with it.
But Mike is starting to fall backwards.
The basket's metal bars slip from his grasp and he tumbles out.
