Two kids should be able to swim circles around the boat. The drift of a capsized boat can be modeled and predicted much easier than a person. They should have been able to stay with the boat.
Not "mr arizona". Mr Louisiana. Spent most of my life on the gulf or in the woods. Saved 3 guys from freezing and drowning in a capsized boat one December out duck hunting 10 years ago. Picked up a guy in a capsized boat on catahoula lake one year. i still do a lot of backcountry thru hiking. Just hiked the 200 mile JMT through the high sierras. The best thing to do in an emergency situation is to stay put. Don't expend energy and wait it out. If you panic and try to swim or walk out. Your risk goes way up.

You are wrong, trust me. It is very rare that wind/current/people in the water all move in the same direction.

This same thing happened to a friend of mine 9 yrs ago outta st Augustine, he was never found. It is what it is! We make big deal on ESPN about someone that wants to do a backflip on a skateboard/dirt bike.
BUT, every time I pull outta the inlet to fish a wreck 3 miles offshore or if I'm going to 21 bottom 45 miles offshore. I know my life, is not in my control!! That's why I pay for a Roffs subscription, and pay for the best electronics I can afford!! Theses kids did not/ don't deserve there faith! Cuz I've done much worse!!
In the moment u r having a good time catching fish, it's the ultimate high!!
Nothing can go wrong?'

I don't feel like being sarcastic anymore. I'm just sad.
