So the lifeboats are useless, the ship is going down real fast and you're 90 degrees in the water.
By the way, you've been asleep in your bed.
What are you dressed in at this point?
A pair of jocks.
What, that was it?
That was it.
What time of year is this?
October.
October in the Southern Ocean.
Yeah.
So that leaves you with the life raft, the inflatable life raft.
How did you get that up and running?
Right, because otherwise the ship will just pull your life raft right down to the bottom.
Well, it could have shredded you.
Bloody hell.
It's like a miniature version of the Titanic.
So this thing went down at the blunt end rather than the pointy end of the ship.
When that happens, when you're looking at this spectacle of this ship suddenly upright like a tower and then just goes, is it loud or is it eerily quiet?
So there you are.
I suppose there was a moment of elation that you'd all survived the sinking of the ship.
