Agree, and rowing isn't a plus in inflatables

() inflatables have advantages, but you lose the engine in an inflatable and you're going to have a tough time if safety is to windward (especially if the wind is strong). Communications and anchor are really important under that circumstance. Even if too deep, the anchor can slow your rate of drift.
