and the man they rescued. It was proof of the importance 
of frequent drilling. When faced with a crisis, crews must 
be able to act as a unit, each performing specific roles, so 
that they can successfully keep both passengers and fellow 
crew safe. That ability to act quickly, to acknowledge a 
conflicting emotion and still stay on task with a focused, 
clear mind was the result of training to the point that ac-
tions were instinct. 
Daigle offered advice to fellow mariners as they prepare for 
possible emergencies they may face. While not wanting to 
instill a sense of paranoia, she noted that it’s not a matter of 
if, it’s a matter of when a team will have to respond to a crisis. 
She noted that teams should understand that it could happen 
at any time. “Know your vessel,” she said. “Know your crew.” 
While mariners should always be prepared for an emergen-
cy, they shouldn’t lose sight of the best parts of a life on 
the water. Daigle added, “Don’t forget to take a moment to 
look at the skyline and enjoy your ‘office view.’”
