“I stood there looking at the boat with all those bubbles coming out of it. That’s when Davey [Edwards] said Fernando is down there. I remember arguing with him, saying no, Fernando has gone to town, that’s what he always did. No, he said … Fernando is down there.”
- Pete Willcox, Captain of the Rainbow Warrior
