It took a while until the situation got under control, but we could count on helping hands from the Majorcan coast guard and fire rescue. Thanks to all of them!”

The Ukrainian fighter then added on his Twitter account as follows,

“Be careful what you wish for: fate took my wish for “some #adrenalin” a bit too literally and our boat-trip Sunday night ended up in our boat #igniting and family & friends being evacuated by coast guard and fire rescue-team. No worries: we are all fine! #theroofisonfire #song.”
