I wonder what caused the boy to come out of their life jackets , if that is what they are thinking. Tragic!
examination of the jackets will tell.....if they are shredded I think we know the answer...if no marking or damage then maybe they never had time to put them on.Most only wait for storms to come up before donning.
I saw a twitter clip of the seas at the approximate time these kids were out there and it wasn’t pretty...if they lost power and were screwing with the engine a swell could have flipped them and it was over after that.
