Corrected entry: The group was in the ocean for at least 4-6 hours. Only Amy wore a life jacket. With the exception of a few characters holding onto the dual mooring hooks at the stern for a few minutes, they all were along the side of the boat treading water for the entirety of the many hours in the water. Elite Coast Guard rescue swimmers would be lucky to exhibit such stamina over such an extended period of time.

Other mistake: Although the sail is down, they never dropped anchor and the boat never drifts or changes location.

Suggested correction: The name of the movie is "Adrift" because they do drift. Maybe you didn't realise it since there were never any points of reference.
Since you suggested there is no point of reference how do you know the boat does drift.
James: Our daughter is scarred for life. She'll either grow up to be oddly attracted to Popeye, or a lesbian.
