Help me avoid a disaster
Ok,
Lets say I am in my 21 foot deck boat and heading into 3 footers. Someone stands up and I kill the throttle at the wrong time and take a big one over the bow. I take on 800 pounds of water.
I am assuming I am better off if the door between the front and back is open.
What do I do to avoid the next wave that is only seconds away and likely to be much worse since my front is now down a foot? There is a strong risk that I won't be able to lift the front with the engine.
Should I focus on getting my passengers into life vest or is their a maneuver that can reverse the situation?
