If you’re going to ditch, that looks like a pretty good outcome; plonk it on at low forward speed, gear up and no flip.

I can never see tweets that get posted on here. Do you have to be a member (?) of twitter to see these things?

Why do they always seem to repeat the same clip?
Surely if you want to see it again you can just do that.

Pilot okay. I had to laugh at the sunbathers who were utterly uninterested.

Very close to shore. Just luck there are no dead swimmers...
