Boat launching gone bad...
So I was setting on the beach at Angelina's Garden back in the day. I think I was will Rojo (Billy) from Canada but not 100% sure. There was a guy that was going to beach a ponga as they often do. He had a load of bricks on the boat, about 100 to be exact along with 4 rebar towers. AT the last moment he kind of hesitated and throttled down aborting his mission. I think he maybe had timed the wave wrong or something. He then go a little sideways and was idol when a wave hit him. He jumped off the boat as the boat rolled. The boat proceeded to fully submerge under the water upside down. I mean not even the bottom of the boat was above water. He quickly dove in the water and grabbed the line on the front of the boat. A bunch of use ran over to help him. We were pulling on the line as a wave came in and the boat rolled right side up with every brick still on the boat. Mind you there was no cover on the boat or the bricks. We then proceeded to forma line and pass bricks to the beach. Unexplainable how they stayed on the boat. Not sure if it formed a suction or something when the boat rolled. Yes others saw this so there were plenty of witnesses and no I was not drinking Racillia if your wondering...:)
