Ditching Gear Down

I forgot. When (not if) you snap inverted up[on hitting the waater, try to
remember that safety is DOWN. Swim that way. Yes yes I know it goes against
the grain, but clawing holes in the cabin's carpet trying to get UP is
generally a waste of time and fingernails. And of course, if you get around to
it, apologize to your passengers with sincerity and feeling.

And I forget again. You may have trouble deciding, amid the confusion, which
way actually is "down." Sort of a true/false question with significant
consequences. Look around you. Fishes generally swim upright. Take a clue
from them. Even 20 foot long sharks rarely roll inverted before nibbling at
their dinner.
