If she can move, she's not far away from it.

Even if she can't move, he can paddle to her.

If he paddled to shore, he could have paddled to her.

Shore is a lot further away than what she was.

Even if the current was ripping, as he says, the current is pushing him in the same direction as it's pushing her.

He would be going in the same direction.

She wouldn't be pulling away from him.

She'd be going in the same direction.

He'd be using the current to get to her.

whether she was driving or and took the lanyard or he was driving and somehow she grabbed the lanyard and fell overboard she still wouldn't end up very far away from the boat he could have paddled to her or she could have swum back to him or both

If he was driving and let's say she fell from the dinghy, the first thing, and for some reason she grabbed the kill switch lanyard, he would still be able to paddle to her.

He made it clear that he paddled to shore.

She's drifting.

If she was unconscious, she would be floating.

If she was wearing a PFD, she'd be floating so she could breathe.

She's going whichever way the current's taking her.

The current is taking the boat in the same direction at the same speed.

he could paddle to catch up to her if she was conscious she could swim she could swim back to the boat everything that i say see online looks like she's fit and in shape and if she spends a lot of time in the water she probably is a halfway decent swimmer once that kill switch gets pulled the boat stops it's not going very far away from her there's not a huge distance yes it's dark it might be hard to see somebody

If she had a PFD on, there's different questions.

My PFDs all have lights that are water activated.
