Lesh said his plane "skipped along the water" for a few hundred feet without much of an impact. He and his passenger grabbed window shades and seat cushions to help them float in the water teeming with jellyfish as whales breached the surface nearby.
Leipelt, 20, of San Jose called air traffic control for help and circled over the two people in the water.
"There she goes!" he says in one video as the tail bobs in the water.
Lesh said he bought the plane nearly three months ago for more than $200,000 and spent about $40,000 for upgrades. He said he took a loan out to pay for the plane.
Addressing online speculation that he had staged the water landing, Lesh said anyone who believed he would spend so much money on a plane only to sink it must have "lost their mind."
Lt. Cmdr. Joshua Murphy said the quick reporting of the incident by Leipelt "greatly aided the Coast Guard's prompt response and ability to save two lives."
Luck also helped, Leipelt said.
"The seas were very calm, it was daytime," he said.
Lesh said he plans to leave Friday on a cross-country flight to deliver his other plane to a buyer on the East Coast. He said he's not worried about the trip.
"I'll always fly," he said.
