FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“Everyone was wearing life jackets, and there were eight tethers on the
boat – mine around my neck. Unfortunately, none of us were clipped in when
the wave hit,” wrote Mr Chong, who had never before sailed the ocean
race course.
“I’d say to myself, ‘I can just clip in when something bad is about to
happen,'” he wrote in Tuesday’s online posting. But the father of an
eight-week-old son had no time to react when a wave crashed into the boat
off the South Farallones.
The islands, Chong said, “have a rugged, haunting beauty about them, but
there’s no time for sightseeing as we approach.”
The best man at his wedding, Alan Cahill, was steering the boat, and Chong was
trimming the mainsail when they passed over the day’s largest swell, he
recalled.
A wave he described as “massive … unlike anything I’ve ever seen
outside of big-wave surf videos,” threw everyone overboard except Mr
Chong and crew mate Nick Vos, who broke his leg.
“The sails were shredded, the mast snapped, and every flotation device
had been ripped off,” Chong recounted. He said he and Vos tried to pull
their crew mates back onto the boat.
Then a second wave hit them from behind and dumped Chong into the
shark-infested water.
“People have asked me if I swam to shore,” he wrote. “The best
way to describe the water in the break zone is a washing machine filled with
boulders. You don’t really swim. The water took me where it wanted to take
me.”
Mr Chong was rescued by the Coast Guard and Air National Guard, along with Vos
and the owner-captain of the boat, James Bradford, 41, of Chicago. Cahill
was among the five crew members who perished.
Mr Chong said he believes he would have fared better if he and the rest of the
crew had been tethered to the yacht.
“It’s obvious to me now that I should have been clipped into the boat at
every possible opportunity,” he wrote. “Those 15 minutes in the
water were the absolute scariest in my life. The boat was the place to be –
inside or out.”
