boaters spend 20 hours in the water

Treading water for 20 hours is impressive.

But life jackets would have been easier.




Makes me glad I bought a Boston Whaler. It may turtle, or burn to the waterline, but it won't sink.
Here is a cool story about a whaler that was blown off its yacht (it was one of the tenders) and was adrift for over two years!

Here is an update on the incident.

"The three women and child were already wearing their life vests when the boat capsized, but the men were not. One of the men had to swim underneath the water and into the boat to obtain vests for the men."

Par for the course, I guess. Funny how much more macho those life vests look when the boat is upside down!
