00:00Celebration as the fishermen Albert James and Junior Tone arrived at shore.
00:05They said they were thankful to God for being alive and survived on catching fish.
00:14I'm feeling great because there is no place better than home.
00:17How was it out there?
00:19The experience was not nice.
00:22It was not nice but I overcome it because I am an overcomer.
00:26I am an overcomer.
00:29Yes.
00:30Good morning.
00:31Tell us in terms of going forward.
00:33How do you feel?
00:34What do you want to tell Tobegonians?
00:35Because you were lost at sea and most of the times whenever persons are lost at sea, they don't make it.
00:41Yes, yes, of course.
00:42I was glad to make it.
00:43I'm lucky to make it.
00:45I will tell everybody, you have to get the right instrument to go to the sea.
00:50What did you do to stay alive?
00:52Drink water, eat fish, dry fish.
00:56Were you worried at any point about sharks?
00:59No, not at all.
01:01The sharks eat, the sharks catch.
01:05Were you worried about survival?
01:09Yes, but I know we are safe because God gave me back.
01:14Which part we anchor, the Friars can't keep it.
01:17Wife of fisherman Albert James spoke to members of the media.
01:26God has given me strength.
01:28I am grateful and thankful.
01:30What is not enough to say?
01:32The strength, the support that I have is so much to say.
01:38Thank everybody.
01:39Yes.
01:40I cannot thank everybody enough.
01:42THA Assemblyman Nigel Tate and Natisha Charles-Panton both spoke with TV6 News.
01:48During our interview, the ambulances left with both men for the Scarborough General Hospital.
01:54I was here from Tuesday to present to date.
01:59And I'm still here with the family, the friends, the fisherfolk from Pigeon Point area.
02:06And I'm so proud when I received that phone call this morning that the men were found.
02:11And I hastily get myself here where I witnessed the boat vessels coming in.
02:17And I saw Mr. James and Mr. Tone when the vessels were standing, which means that they were alive.
02:23I'm just relieved.
02:24I'm relieved that the families, you know, can reunite again.
02:28Yeah, because I've been here and I've seen, you know, how the daughter, how the wives,
02:33how all of them felt.
02:34So I am just relieved.
