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.
Have you ever been offshore in a squall in 8-10 ft seas when you cant see your hand in front of your face? Maybe they couldn't see the boat? They shouldn't have been where they were but kids think they are invincible, ever been one? You don't know what conditions they were going through.

Yeah growing up my uncle lived in Bernard pariah and had a 28 footer. After college I had a 24 footer. Fished out of Delacroix, empire, Venice, grand isle, grand Cheniere and Cameron. I've seen some pretty bad stuff out there.
Also I am in Florida. Watched some bad arse thunderstorms move through Orlando last Friday at noon. So yeah I know it was bad.
