Best Answer

People can get lost at sea if:

  • their small boat cannot handle big waves
  • their boat gets a leak in it
  • their boat breaks down mechanically
  • their boat hits a reef
  • ocean floating garbage, especially plastics or fish netting, fouls the propeller
  • a fisherman on board fouls the propeller
  • a rouge wave overturns the boat
  • a huge storm overturns the boat
  • a whale jumps out of the water in an act called breaching so they can see above the water, and lands accidentally on the boat (recently happened to a yacht)
  • the crew got lost, couldn't read charts
  • another bigger ship runs into a smaller boat and either doesn't notice or flees the scene
  • the captain forces passengers overboard
  • the passengers fall overboard
  • they might have dropped their compass in the ocean

and so, there is noway to get back to the dock.
