Most, when a boat capsizes will hang onto the boat as it contains the emergency signaler besides keeping them together and safe in a round about way, easier to locate a boat than tw
o bodies floating in the wide sea.

They were either thrown from the boat or foul play is possible for them to leave the immediate area of the boats safety.

I hope for another miracle like what happened to our local boys:

Two teens rescued after 6 days at sea
 
Absolutely crazy to allow two fourteen year old boys to take a boat out alone in that type of water.

I hope they find them soon.

Not really, there are some who grew up on the waters ( smart enough to use navigation equipment) some do cross atlantic sailing..ect...

Like my cousin in Florida, his kids and others go Air boating and Gator huntin all at young ages... just a way of life for them.
Like some realatives here hunt and their young uns have their own guns at 12, 14

Marine experts say boys should not been alone offshore
 
Oh god, it isn't meant to handle the higher wave heights out there, if they survived at all the sun is pretty harsh when exposed without cover. I don't think aything hopeful will come out of it.
 
It is possible for them to survive by using lifejackets as raft. If I were them I would put life jacket on, and stay with the capsized boat until rescue find me. I was thinking maybe sharks visited two boys.......
 
They found the boat and the boys are no where to be seen. You are taught to wear your life jacket and stay with your boat as much as possible. It is a lot easier to find than two heads sticking out of the water. Obviously the boys did not know what they were doing as they hit severe weather not too far into the trip.

A reporter was saying on the news that people don't like to wear lifejackets in Florida hot sun. So the kids may had gotten too hot and taken off their lifejackets. I hate seeing stories like this on the news . :(
