Between the 17 and 18 October 2021 the humanitarian ship Sea-Watch 3 rescued 412 people from seven different vessels that had come into difficulty in the Central Mediterranean, within striking distance of the Libyan coast. Rob, a veteran activist, was driving one of the rescue boats. From threats by the Libyan Coast Guard to the practicalities of hosting hundreds of people on a small ship exposed to the elements, he and the rest of the crew faced many challenges in their mission to help migrants reach a safe port in Europe. This is an account of five days out in the open water, saving human lives.
