It's not a fast boat.
He's not going to go very far.
Once that kill switch lanyard got pulled, he might have gone 10, 15, 20 feet and been able to paddle.
If he did that long distance paddle to shore, he could have paddled back to her 10 or 15 feet.
And if he said she was swimming towards shore,
That means she was conscious and awake and ability to swim.
She could have very easily swum that little distance back to the boat, even if he couldn't have paddled to her for some reason.
She could have swum that distance back to the boat.
It's not it doesn't make sense.
The story that he's giving.
I'm not.
It doesn't make sense.
There is like if you've ever rented a jet ski or been on a jet ski, there is a little
little switch that you put in to make sure that that it runs and then as soon as you fall overboard you pull it and kill the switch so on small boats there's this safety feature and you attach it to yourself like i said it's a little lanyard it's a little rope you can attach it to your wrist or you can tie it to your pfd but it's designed on a small boat or a jet ski that if you fall over
it stops.
It's not some of the things that it's a, it's a ignition key.
It's not a key.
There's no key on little motors like this, but it won't run without it.
And if he was operating the boat, it's attached to him.
It's not a very long rope.
