Default Re: EVERYONE PLEASE READ!!!!!

You did good.

I got pitched outta my 16' Bonita in the middle of Biscayne bay when I reached back to flick a fuel tank switch while underway. I only let go of the helm for a moment but, the boat turned hard right and out I went. No injury. Luckily I didn't get to engage the fuel switch so after 10 minutes of treading water the motor cut off.
Otherwise it would'a been a long swim home. :-[
