I'm all for kids being super independent and think we over-protect kids too much these days in general, but two teens by themselves on the ocean just sounds like a terrible idea. The open ocean can be a very dangerous place, even with a great boat and lots of equipment and tons of experience, etc.

Were they boating alone? Did they have equipment to call for help? Article is somewhat vague on the details.

Answering your question. Yes, and No. They did have life jackets.

Thanks for being so knowledgeable, what kind of vessel was it?
