    Oh man, I haven't even finished watching it and he's already fallen back into the water three times. I completely empathize with their efforts. I would be thinking, "Why didn't I remember to leave that ladder handy!".

    First, there is no storm. There are barely some catpaws which indicate a strong breeze at most. Secondly, this is an example of bad seamanship. They are trying to climb into a boat and don't tie the dinghy to keep it in place. Then, in a man overboard situation, the idiot left in the dinghy backs it into the man who fell endangering him with the outboard propeller.
