About 200 yards further from where I took this shot, I dumped my boat again.
This time, the wind was blowing my boat so fast I couldn't swim fast
enough to get around it and when I finally did, I couldn't reach up
high enough to right it again.
The simple solution would have been to turn it bow on to the wind so
it wouldn't move so fast, but I was rather new to this 'capsizing' thing
and didn't think of it.
Jason saved the day by sailing up and bumping my boat with his. I was
able to right my boat, and after a little huffing and puffing, pull
myself back aboard. I hadn't lost anything since the first capsizing,
and the boat does not take on water, so I sheeted in and away we went.
