Sorry still find it very hard to believe that he could have been pecked to death in 5 mins and secondly that a trawler of that size didn't have a rescue boat.
The skull is a pretty good protection for the brain - the only routes in are through bone or small orifices, so find it hard that the guy couldn't fight the birds off for a short period... if following a large trawler I doubt they were that hungry.
All lifejackets can also be deflated via the oral inflation tube...
No doubting your relating of the story but do doubt the teller - think there has been a lot of exaggeration or you haven't had the full story.
Any trawler skipper.mate would simply run the gear away for a MOB, or even force the turn by letting one side of the trawl run off to let the other side act as a fulcrum.
