I'm interested. I had a semi-close call at Charlotte Harbor a couple months ago.

Righted my boat in big breeze and it took off and neither the crew nor I could get up over the front beam. Decided to hand over hand Indiana Jones style under the boat to the back to get ahold of the tiller and steer the boat into the wind.

Great idea until I snagged the righting line with my hook. Pressure from the water / boat speed had me on there pretty good. I remember thinking - oh sh!t this could go bad. Kept my composure and was able to release myself after a couple minutes of dragging. Seemed like forever.
