Its a weird moment, isn't it? Wagner is fighting tears(and sometimes losing the fight) and struggling with the tale and then he gets into the "argument with Walken memory" and you can see a bit of the rage he exhibited that night.
Imagine how tense that must have been for everyone that night. Just the two men and the one woman on the boat(plus a mysteriously "not around" ship captain.) Wagner probably having an explosion of temper that likely put Walken wishing he was anywhere but there.
And they're all stuck on that boat!
There's a lot of family love demonstrated towards Wagner in this documentary, so I'm inclined to believe that Wood died trying to tie that dinghy to the boat when nobody was awake or award. But the circumstances that created the accident surely had something to do with several drunk and angry people in too small a space adjacent to the deep, cold, unforgiving sea.
They should have had a bigger boat...
