I'm almost afraid to ask. How did you manage to fall overboard? Were you underway or at anchor or just hanging? Were you rescued right away? At least it was Florida. Maybe it was fairly warm water?

Oh no. I didn't fall overboard. We were just caught way out from land by a HUGE thunderstorm and were tossed about badly. I honestly don't know how we kept from capsizing. It was the most terrifying ordeal I've been through. This happened in early March, so the water was cold. I'm glad we didn't get tossed off the boat.

When we got back to the marina, I scrambled off the boat, got down on my knees and kissed the ground. I spit sand out of my mouth for a good hour afterwards! LOL!!!
