I’d be dumping out my EDC for Davy Jones before I’d be able to make this work.

He did turn around, threw a life jacket and rope, but the swimmer was blown away too quickly to get to it. In 9 foot swells it's really easy to lose sight of a swimmer, and single-handed he probably had enough just keeping the boat upright, much less doing a man-overboard drill.
