Atop the boat, sure you want gear on, but it will just make it harder to stay affloat if you're in the drink.
Well sort of, you should dump the shoes and take off the jeans. If you know what you are doing you can rig a makeshift floatation device from your jeans, but while I've done it in controlled settings I've never been 100% convinced it would work well long term.

James Allen, a marine safety consultant who once worked search and rescue operations with the Coast Guard, said the chances of finding survivors diminish after people have been in the water three days.

Survivors have been found who were floating for days, but he added "you just can't swim forever."

After 18 hours in 64-degree water, hypothermia will set in, Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class James Harless said.

There was another thread that said they found one of the players, but that was false

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. There was a thread that said #2 of 4 had been rescued, which turned out to be false. Only one has been found so far.

They were all clinging to the boat! What the hell happened?

Some fishing boat. So no handholds? Man that sucks.

Anyone know the type of fishing boat? Any good photos?

It is rather difficult clicking on the previous pages of this thread, isn't it? ROFL

The guy that survived stayed with the boat. The others were washed away immediately. They've been dead from the start. Very sad. I still can't believe they took a 21' boat that far out. It's not the Atlantic but it can still kick up out there.

Another read, not much new information yet.

Not to sound like an ass, but alot of black people are not great swimmers (used to be a lifeguard in Hawaii). Stuck in 10-15ft. seas for days, only the strongest of swimmers would survive; NFL athletes or not...

That is not even taking into account the fairly cool waters.
