He said he wasn't on the boat but his team were first at the scene, explaining: “I was awoken at 4’o’clock in the morning, took a couple of deep breaths, it’s never a phone call like that to see how I’m doing.'They were screaming for help' Fisherman tells of battle to save migrants as four die in harrowing scenes in Channel“I could hear it was Ray and I could hear in his voice they were in a situation.
“The bottom of the dingy had some away, it was mid-channel. Right in the centre about 12 miles off land. “The fishermen who work in that part of the channel are in the thick of it. We’ve been involved in an incident before, that was last summer, it’s prolific.”
