So we tied a glowing red neon stick to the back of his wetsuit, waited until our eyes adjusted to the darkness, and used the speckles of light coming from the moon as our reference point. We had a few large boats temporarily blind us with their spotlights, but we were able to make radio contact and ask in broken Portuguese for their cooperation. The night was a success until the tired swimmer slipped and fell off a plank getting back onto the Cassiquari. Luckily he only suffered a few small cuts and abrasions.
