I seriously doubt they only had 2 life jackets on their boat. The Capt. always puts the safety of his crew first and doesn’t take unnecessary chances like some people do.

they had plenty of life jackets on the boat they were under 3 feet of water in the stern. This thread should stop at this before any more ridiculous rumors start spreading

Riverratt has it right, moving to the back of the boat would have caused the boat to broach which would have been an unnecessary risk to grab a life jacket. They had a boat nearby and it obviously made more sense to keep the boat upright and wait to offload.
The internet is worse than a bunch of old ladies when it comes to spreading bad information, or information that people just assume.
The owner lost his boat and lots of expensive gear. The last thing he needs is to see crap being spread on the web. No offense to anyone chiming in here with questions. Lets let this post fade away.

Wow are they lucky there were other boats in the area.
Does looks like 2 life jackets and if I am not imagining things, the third guy has a throwable seat cushion on. BUT ITS ON HIS BACK. That way it keeps your face firmly planted under water !!!!!!!!
Whatever, but good thing they are all OK.
Never take anythning for granted.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

My neighbor had his 31 ft Regulator sink at the dock the other day when a through hull fitting corroded and let go. That shouldn't happen, at least on a boat of recent vintage. I wonder if thru-hulls are now being outsourced over seas.
