The waypoints could have been logged in anything. Any GPS, or even a Google location history on a phone they found. The heroes of the story are the two men.

The waypoints could have been logged in anything. Any GPS, or even a Google location history on a phone they found. The heroes of the story are the two men. It would be like if someone were about to sucker punch a woman and you happened to be standing in the way. You're not a hero, you just happened to be present. It's also a type of scare mongering. "You might fall overboard while peeing, and our product could save your life, just look at this phenomenally unlikely scenario!" The much smarter solution is to use a wireless lanyard or just pee inside the boat, as commented elsewhere here.
