Just had a chance to review the fotos, the last one on the left shows Stalactites or stalagmites (dont remember which is which)growing from the boats hull. Quick response time surely saved lots of lives, don't know how long a human can last in cold water like that, but it can't be long.
This has got to be a once in a lifetime landing, my hat off to the crew and all those wonderful boat crews for a timely response. Almost restores ones faity in humanity.
Best regards to one and all.
