He said we
were going blunt-end- forward, but we were actually
tilted over the top.
We then did a p~tch_down
maneuver about 180 degrees in the water.
I was
surprised that we were being dragged backwards,
but I got the sensation that I was going backwards
and almost upside-down.
I had t he kind of feeling that we went in and touched
over a little bit, and that's about all the feeling
that I got.
I don't believe we got dragged very
much.
No, but I just felt that was the way that I was
going.
I was being pressed back in my seat like I
would be if I were being dragged, and I was thrown
over to the left like I would have if we had rolled
over this way.
I got the left roll and I also think that I had
less water in my window than you did.
I had a lot
of spray and stuff.
Did you have solid water in
your window?
I really didn't look that closely.
I didn't look
at the window to see what I saw there.
I saw
nothing but water sloshing all over the thing.
We
really seemed to hit hard, harder than I thought
