BOATING IN ROUGH SEAS

[laser]

I was working as regatta that weekend in Ft. Laud in my redone 23 and I almost lost mine. the waves formed quickly with a steep face. I was checking on one of our safety boats that got flipped and on the beach (oxymoron)when a 5' caught me broadside and broke into the boat. I was on a 45 angle and was really made that I was about to lose my boat after working on it for a year!! I couldn't believe but the boat rited it self and the water was quickly draining into the bilge while I powered out and up the next steep wave and then remember seeing olnly water at the bottom of the wave and my deck hatches floating in the air. I was very relived to get away from there and was very impressed by the boat...it truly is a sea craft!!
