One of the first things Rick Rodriguez did after his boat started to sink was text his friend. “Tommy this isn’t a joke,” he wrote. “We hit a whale and the ship went down.”

Just shy of two weeks into their journey, however, they found themselves in a lifeboat, floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, The Washington Post reported.
