| Event Description | The exact date of incident I can not remember, near October 9th, 2015. Inexperienced captain of a private boat took us to Green Island for a deer hunt for a couple days. Mechanically the boat was not kept up (leaked into sleeping area, wiper broken, and field repair of power steering pump). On the return to Whittier the Captain did not check sea forecast. Later learned of the small craft advisory during this time. Halfway between Knight Island and Culross the waves became huge 12-14 ft. Captain kept full throttle taking the waves on the back corner. We advised the Captain several times to turn and slow down. The Captain was screaming at us and obviously not in control of himself. I was on the back deck yelling out when the big waves were coming. We then got flipped onto our side, propeller over reving out of the water. I has hanging from a rail, The Captain was thrown out of his chair on top of the passenger. As I was climbing onto the side of the boat (now the top), the boat decided to right itself. The boat made it into Whittier after this. |
