I'm impressed.
Paddling around in 30+ knots for three hours without lifejackets? That would have been pretty scary, I dunno if I could have done that.
Glad to see everyone is safe and sound.

If it was as rough as they say it was, why they were not wearing pfd's?
Why not all of them were wearing pfd's?

If a sensible person was running the show on that 6.4m inflatable, every person aboard would have been wearing pfd's from the start. Especially after a piss up called raft up. Period.

The capt's arse should be in the sling. The tool.

...and there is not one condemnation from our safety conscious members who chastised David Witty - aka VOR Scallywag - for an obvious mistake by one of his crew who ended up in the water .....

Sometimes it's best not to condemn evolution's attempt to ensure the world is not full of idiots!
