A special feature of the Wind Surf is that the stern opens to become a swim platform
This can only be used when the ship is anchored
I'm a good swimmer. I can swim a continuous mile in a POOL
How hard can this be?

Check out the video to see what happened

Video of Eileen Braving the Angry Sea
(The Current was Very Strong)

Now It's Joe's Turn
The ladder is a better choice
He is a strong swimmer
Look how easy to float in salt water
Getting on to the swim platform is harder

Swimming against the current and waves

was not easy

Joe had to be hauled back in using a line
(like a big fish)

That was the case for everyone else too
