For those of us with Suzuki Outboards Sale a reasonable fear of the ocean, this is a worst case scenario: Last week, Dan Suski, 30, and his sister Kate Suski, 39, chartered a fishing boat in St. Lucia. Things were going fine, despite the rough seas, and the siblings even managed to hook a 200-pound marlin. They were battling the giant fish when water rushed onto the boat and flooded its engine room. As the captain radioed for help, another surge Yamaha 4 Stroke Outboard of water swamped the boat. At that point, the captain tossed the Suskis life jackets and ordered them into the ocean.

"We would just see swells and gray," Dan Suski said.
Hours went by. A helicopter and search plane arrived but failed to notice the two siblings. They continued swimming. Eventually, the sun went down.
"There's this very real understanding that the situation is Yamaha outboard motors dire," Kate Suski said. "You come face-to-face with understanding your own mortality ... We both processed the possible ways we might die. Would we drown? Be eaten by a shark?"

They kept swimming, Yamaha outboards Sale finally finding a small stretch of sand. Once ashore, they collapsed before again going into survival mode to avoid hypothermia.
