Thanks guys n gals
That's what I was expecting. I was thinking some instrument experience must be very useful, if not a requirement. Having flown down the east coast last week I looked straight out to sea and found it slightly disorientating with the sea and sky merging and there being no other features to lock onto.
As for getting into a life raft, I can't even get into one of those rubber rings when paddling at the edge of the sea, never mind a life raft.
