Years ago when we used to fish off shore in the Gulf of Mexico, we were headed back to Freeport at dusk. We saw what looked like debris , we headed over that way to check it out. It turned out to be 4 young shrimpers. They had left their shrimp boat in a small skiff and it had over turned.

They were in effect standing on the overturned boat with only their heads above water no life jackets. We got them all on board and were even able to get a rope on their skiff.

Their anchored shrimp boat was not even in sight but we found it and they jumped off our boat and swam to it. It was their lucky day!

Wow. You probably saved their lives, esp if no one knew they were missing. Were they Vietnamese?
