      I mean…to be fair, thats probably the best thing he could have done/said. He realizes in that moment that he’s in the path of danger. Step 1…get the fuck out of there. Worry about step 2 when you’re safe.

        So I’m not a boat person but I was under the impression that the law of the sea requires other boats to aide people in the water. Like I think it’s a requirement. I’m pretty sure it’s the reason why tankers and whatnot stop and help ships in distress. Could be just something I heard as a kid though.

      Everybody is a strong swimmer until they are:

      • unconscious
      • exhausted
      • in cold water
      • disorientated
      • injured
      • in strong current
      • entangled
      • trying to save another person
      • intoxicated
      • not a strong swimmer

      Yeah, but other than that everybody is a strong swimmer.
