I was wondering why they didn't just drop a line down to the seals then I see the boat come in, pretty fast and they almost missed!

Regarding the helicopter that lands in the water in the first video. I don't think the pilot had ever taken off from water before! You don't push the cyclic forward like you would on land, it's just going to drag the nose through the water, you want to go straight up - doh.
