I was of the school of thought that you shouldnt turn it over if there was little wind. I was wrong. My wife and I were out on a calm day. (she is terrified of the wind and turning over) So were having a nice time and I wasnt paying much attention to what little wind there was. We recieved a gust and over we went. Ice chest, magazines,sun glasses everything in the water,she was pissed. She would not help to get it back up. I couldnt do it. A frendly jet skier saw us and came to help. I tied a line to the jet ski. He wasnt sure of the outcome as the mast came toward him. But it settled down and we untied. I thanked him and had to take my wife home.
