The Boat: Cape Dory 36
Conditions: Fair, boat speed 4.5 knots on a reach

What a disaster! You were sailing alone, 400 miles offshore. No land or vessels
in sight. Your Autohelm 4000 autopilot engaged you sat down for a meal when you
heard a strange noise. Back on deck you see that part of the backstay adjuster
is coming loose. You get to work and place your foot on the aft railing. The
boat lurches from a gust and wave. It's a one in a million shot, but it's
happened. You've fallen off the boat!!!!
You spin fast in the water and grab the 15 foot long line you were trailing.
Slowly, chocking on water rushing over you, you manage to pull your self to the
stern. It's exhausting, but you make it to the stern. Only you can't pull the
ladder down!!! You can't get aboard. The rush of cold water is wearing you down
fast.

What can you do????

That actually happened to me on a C&C 40. Fortunately, I can walk on
water.

Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!
