It’s only a matter of time now. The only one we see make it off the Andrea Gail is Bobby. He’s in the bridge with Billy and even though he gets out, we see Billy decide to stay with the ship as she slips beneath the surface.
After this, Linda immediately gets on the radio with the Coast Guard to repeat the location for the Andrea Gail and issue a Mayday for them.
Then, Mark Wahlberg’s version of Bobby Shatford looks out the bridge and just says, “No.”
By that, what I mean is that there wasn’t a refueling operation that happened for the chopper rescuing the Satori.
And while the movie makes it seem like the reason for their going back was because of a bad haul, I couldn’t find anything in my research to indicate that was the reason. Their previous haul had been sold for over a little under $150,000 for about a month and a half out at sea. more
We already saw Christina Cotter. She’s played by Diane Lane in the movie. Her boyfriend, Bobby Shatford, is played by Mark Wahlberg.

Satori combines the comforts of a 5-star boutique hotel with a traditional hand-built wooden schooner to create the ultimate classic sailing experience.
About midway through ''The Perfect Storm,'' the film adaptation of Sebastian Junger's phenomenal best-seller, the skipper of the 32-foot sailboat Mistral, sporting a jaunty yachtsman's cap and a highbrow New England accent, makes an offhand remark about his vast offshore prowess. It's a setup line. He's silly, smug and about to get walloped.
''When I knew the crew would have to jump in the water, I wasn't comfortable about having them go alone,'' he said. ''Also, I knew if I disobeyed I wouldn't be able to land in a U.S. port for several years, and I've seen expatriates in foreign ports. I didn't want to be one.'' [links]
By all accounts, the voyage was a nightmare. Several days into the trip, after receiving a Mayday call relayed by a commercial vessel, a Coast Guard helicopter plucked Satori's crew from a roiled sea. While that fact is indisputable, the events leading up to the rescue remain unclear; there are two very different versions of Satori's fateful passage. more
