Third purple marker in Sons of the Forest - a soldier stuck on a lifeboat

The third and last marker is on a soldier that died on the red inflatable lifeboat in the small bay on the southernmost part of the island. You will have to swim to reach the raft.

You will find the soldier with some supplies, including a pistol, so make sure you take this as well.
