From my understanding of reports, most people got into the life raft on board- but it may just be the crew staying silent about what happened. The wife was on it, the mother and baby got onto it after being submerged in the sea- we perhaps have to just wait and see what is said, it was inflated on deck that we have seen reported.I wonder how long it took people thrown into that raging sea to actually get to the life raft and get into it.
I think we have to remember that there were high winds, heavy rain, and likely large swells and crashing waves. Horrible scenario.
Some people can't even step into a dinghy from a still boat in a calm sea. (I fell doing that once)
