Although Leonard wants to stay on the ship, the Coast Guard calls a "manifestly unsafe voyage". A "manifestly unsafe voyage" is when everyone on the ship must be removed because of the perilous conditions. So, all of the crew is rescued from the Satori via an H-3 helicopter. This rescue was only possible because a rescue swimmer named Dave Moore dived down into the raging water and helped the crew into the rescue basket of the helicopter one by one. Once in the helicopter, the crew of the Satori was checked for health and greeted by their rescuers in a very excited manner. They were extremely happy that the crew was healthy and that they survived the terrible conditions aboard the ship. An hour and forty minutes later, the helicopter touched down at the Air Station Cape Cod and the ship's crew was asked questions by the rescue team. After those grave conditions, the Satori's crew was finally able to relax and feel a sense of safety.
The second half of this chapter clearly shows Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The primary need for safety was given a greater priority than anything else. The stranded crew members of the Satori were never ignored and the rescue team did everything that they could to try and rescue them. These rescuers soon became the guardians of the stranded people and tried their best to protect the lives of the crew members. Also, after being saved, the crew reached a point of self-actualization and they were content with everything that they had in their lives. Every primary need was now attainable and with such a great improvement in their living conditions, the crew looked upon the world with great optimism. Lastly, this rescue mission showed that it was possible to survive the so-called "perfect storm" and it demonstrated the good nature of human beings.
