How to deploy and enter a life raft from a boat

I had this old life raft that came with my sailboat Rum Rations when I purchased her a few years ago. The life raft was 10 years out of service. When I called about having the life raft serviced the gentleman I spoke with told me that my particular life raft did not hold up well over time and was not worth repacking. So, I purchased a new life raft and decided to test out the old life raft. The resulting experiment is documented in this video. Several lessons were learned. I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Capt Bill
