Ah, but then it would have been a less authentic experience. In a real life water ditching you don't start out with a pre-established team, but with a real mix of competence and panic.

BTW, WBurcham, you performed especially in the raft, taking a command role directing the assembly of the canopy.

Remember CPR-
Collection (the canopy collects drinking water)
Protection (from the elements)
Reflection (the top reflects light, so it is easier for airplanes to spot)
