00:28 We just see the craziest thing.
00:30 I felt like I'd made my decisions in this whole thing.

00:39 It was just so much pain, like my body was just totally locked up.
00:44 I couldn't paddle, couldn't do anything and I was just drifting out into the ocean.
00:50 That feeling was just like, I'm in a really, really bad situation.

01:50 Thank you.
