That's a very bad sign. But why would he scuttle the boat as they approached in such an obvious manner? Why would he lie about her being on the boat when upon resurfacing the boat the truth will be obvious. For that matter the claim of ballast tank problems will be obvious too.
Logic says he's smart enough to know all that is true and therefore is likely telling the truth. Reality is much stranger than logic. Staying tuned on this one and hoping for the best.
@Carotio and @Martes--great to see both of you!
