Deckhand Trey John Green III told Page Six in an exclusive interview that the notoriously treacherous Bering Sea was \u201cflat\u201d and \u201ccalm\u201d that day, and the weather was \u201cactually good.\u201d He noted the incident occurred in the late afternoon while the sun was still out, so visibility was high.<\/p>\n
