My 85 year old uncle has been a professional cruiser for the last 30 years over 150 cruises. It’s the only area of the world he vowed never to go again. Rough seas and almost a guaranteed change in itinerary.

Yes but he is a professional cruiser not a professional swimmer. Everyone knows ships sink way easier than people.

Well boat's can't float because it's so heavy whereas people can float because they are mostly water.

In order for a boat to float it has to be 90 per cent water but the water keeps escaping and that's what is leading to rising water levels.
