They really don't recall whether the boat just tiped over and went back to right side up or rolled.

travelgirl-Yes. It is rough and windy.

Nothing like having the Boat Gods looking over you. Glad to hear everyone survived the thrill and rush of an unexpected ejection.

Certainly the events of today are worthy of a detailed account. Unfortunately I am a little sore and tired but I will give you guys the full update in the coming days. Wait till you see the cockpit video!!!!
