For those who missed it, there was this amazing story on this list on
september 2nd, from Steve, from "Duchess", about amazing rescue in Bahamas.

It read like this :

" For reasons unknown, the
wife decided to go to the stern and step out on the swim platform. During
her time on the platform she lost her grip and fell into the water. The
trawler, now on autopilot and the skipper below, moved away from her at the
rate of about 9 knots. The wife was not wearing any life preserver or
personal floatation. After what was estimated at about 20 minutes, the
husband returned to the flybridge. Not finding his wife, he looked around
the boat thinking she may have moved below and he just missed her. No such
luck. Panic set in and he moved to the VHF to put out a call to the fellow
boaters and hit the MOB button. The other boats responded by the lead boat
turning around and the following boat began to search the waters.
Fortunately, the following boat came upon the wife, treading water and
rather unperturbed, after about 15 minutes. They pulled her aboard and later
transferred her to her boat."

It has just been brought to my attention that my remark about the first liar
not having a chance, inferred that Bob was not telling the truth or that I
doubted that his story was about the rescue was true.  Neither is the case.
On the other hand I cannot vouch for the veracity of my story.
