Bring back the Biff

What I want to know is how the hell did he get out of the water and onto the rib??  It's not easy even with someone pulling you up!

You're that wired, it takes very little 'extra' to make you snap. I'm sure it's totally out of character, what you have to do at times sailing at that standard at that level by it's very nature is out of character for most folk. You don't even recognise yourself some of the things you have to do or are forced to push yourself to achieve, in terms of endurance, pain and aggression which is all that drives you to be that micro amount better than the next guy. Right now he knows he's wrong, probably really sorry, but f**k me the red mist must have been intense, so I fully understand and it reminds me of that old quote from..Theodore Roosevelt, It's certainly not the critic who counts. I'll just remind everyone.. ""It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Thanks Graeme, could not have put it better.  Can anyone name the guys in the RIB?
