    Shame there’s not more information on what they had with them.

    I assume their boat was barely sea-worthy to start with but they probably left port with the expectation of staying at sea for several days at least. They also obviously had the gear to catch and cook fish.

    It’s a big deal, and a life threatening situation, but not an epic feat of survival.
