At http://www.myweather2.com/swimming-and-water-temp-index.aspx it says,

“Water Temperature of the Sea Equal to or Above 26°C (79°F)

For swimming in this is considered very warm and would be enjoyed be all. With this temperature you can stay active in the water for extended periods of time without feeling uncomfortable.”

So this would be like a very warm swimming pool. Puentes was in the water maybe an hour and a half so it would be like somebody swimming a little past the hourly rest-break they give minors, in a very warm swimming pool.

Like I said, it’s no wonder he was treated for hypothermia.

There had to be a reason they treated him for hypothermia. I wonder if he had a tag on him that said “HYPOTHERMIA” just like the Fuddy doll most likely had a tag that said “CRITICAL CONDITION”...

If one knows insurance companies, engine manufacturers, and even taxpayers are "just out there", poised to be soaked for a little extra "compensation," the more one can claim to have suffered in a "tragic accident," the better. The term "scam artist" comes to mind.

The whole thing was a con. The fact that the older guy referenced before, the green beret, swam to shore in six minutes should let you know just how far out they were, or were not. There is little reason all of them couldn't have been brought right up to shore. Why is the green beret guy leaving when he could easily have helped others? It wasn't in the script. They all followed a script.
