I would recommend attending a safety at sea course. We did pool work with rafts, suits, etc. In a controlled environment, no wind, perfectly healthy( no injuries, fatigue or sea sickness) daytime pool, things were almost impossible. The first time I almost drowned was trying to get into a life raft. Trying to flip a large raft is impossible. You carry so mich water in foul weather gear... Having a raft for 8 with a crew of two is a bad idea.
