Sad story; and a strange one. . .but do not want ever to fing out just what I might do under similar circumstances. . .Am guessing that no one was able to get up on the boat (what to hold?) but rather; survivor just held on to ‘anchored’ boat; from side and/or underneath?

It is hard to figure; ‘son’ gives up and leaves Father as well. It must have been very cold out there. Am guessing there had to be a real fear of sharks as well.

The pictures of the rescue showed the survivor sitting on top of the over-turned boat, clutching the bottom half of the motor with his arms and legs. I doubt all three could have stayed up there though :(

The guy that survived was sitting atop the over-turned boat, hugging the motor. Being out of the water, he avoided most of the effects of hypothermia

I guess I am the only one who thinks this sounds just a little bit fishy. No pun intended at all.
