Just so you know, the Amazon Guardian was calling the shots on how to evacuate, not Jim. 
From the blog:
I later found out this was Captain Pavlos Pavlopoulous first rescue at sea as well as the helms man, it was the 17th for Elefthepios Vasilakis, the chief engineer. The engineer and helmsman Jose Chiu were operating blind from the wheelhouse getting their information from a deck officer and the captain who was out on the wing, all was carried out as delicately as possible under the circumstances.
