Did anyone else find the headline a little over-dramatic.

Yeah, I know. That's what "journalists" do.

Still, "hangs on for dear life"??? The guy was shooting the video from the companionway. Yeah, it was pretty cool to watch, but nothing most of us haven't seen before.

Most landlubbers aren't aware how normal "hanging on for dear life" is while sailing 8-)
