I can't understand why the anchors are still aboard and the dinghy is in
the davits. First thing I would have done was to run all the anchors I
could find as far out as possible and try to horse the thing head to the
swell and wind.

The seas were such that the dinghy would probably have swamped before
you got 100 ft out.

It is a beautiful boat, but not worth a human life.

Lew;
It wasn't that rough that day. The dinghy is a 13 foot Avon rib with a
15/20 horse outboard.

I have the same dinghy, with a 25.

That boat will handle a lot more than anything that they could have
found that day.

Probably not swamped a 12 or 14 foot rib (which they might carry) but
launching the small boat is really challanging (read dangerous) in a
good seaway.

And more so when the boat is aground and has no ability or tendency to
move in sympathy with the waves.
