I don't see you as being antagonistic. It's just a show, I don't get hung up on being questioned on any ridiculous theories I might throw out there. Anyway ...I think Desmond is on the boat. I think it is the boat he arrived on. I have no idea how he repaired it or where it has been since he arrived. But keep in mind that he had a partner (Kelvin) in the Swan that could have allowed him time to move the boat ashore. Also, he could have been working on fixing it. It is a jungle and it could have been hidden. I don't think this is an unexplainable plot point in any case.I'm not trying to be antagonistic here.
So Desmond went to wherever his boat ostensibly crashed, packed up and tried to leave and is now back? Or this is Desmonds boat, that's been adrift since he crashed and Desmond will appear in some other way?
Perhaps I overstated the "drawing them back" What I believe drew M, J & S back was the current. I'm not going to get into whether DHARMA has manipulated the current Perhaps Desmond tried to leave and was also brought back by the current/tide.
I think Desmond is in bad shape in any case as it appeared (at least to me) that the boat was slowly drifting in (I'm basing this on seconds of screen observation, so I could be completely off base).
