getting back aboard

Around the bar in Culebra, PR a few months ago several of us who singlehand were talking about what would happen if we fell overboard wearing a harness and tethered to the boat. One of them actually tried to get back aboard after deliberately going over the side at 5 knots with crew aboard. He was not able to do it, and the crew had to slow the boat to get him back aboard. We all agreed: STAY ON THE BOAT!
