There was so much going on. It was chaos and brought back nightmares of his days at sea. He still grabbed onto the boy and had him cling to the man's shoulders. "Hold on like your life depends on it." He told the kid, as he grabbed the bleating goat. An old man was fruitlessly trying to swim to them, but he had bigger worries as the other old man on the boat went under after being hit by one of his own crew. He would have glared at the man, but it was clearly an accident with good intentions.
He found the floating buoy that had done the deed and got the boy to hold onto it, and left the goat to swim in place helplessly as he grabbed the unconscious man who was floating towards the surface. This was so much to handle, he was looking for the lifeguards , thinking they were so useless. Truly, this sort of thing didn't happen every year but accidents must occur!
As he surfaced with the man, he grabbed the boy to hold on and tried to grab the goat as well. At least they weren't struggling too hard, now it was just trying to get to the pier before some other boat in their hurry just ran them over.
