Adam let go of the mizzen mast he was holding onto and leapt down the companionway stairs using the hatch like a monkey bar he flew past every step and landed on the floor. As he headed across the salon, the sound of crashing waves and rushing water overwhelmed his senses, Vive Grande was lifted out of the water and thrown onto her starboard side. As his feet came out from under him , Adam lost his grip and slid down the floor that had now become a wall into the drum set below. The minutes stood as still as Beethoven™s tomb while Vive Grande was over on her side, Adam was trying to dodge books and trinkets that were falling from the shelf behind the settee. Sounds he had never heard before rattled around the boat, scraping, rushing water and the sound of a large motor came at him from every direction. Just as the sounds were becoming unbearable the heavy boat spun around and flipped back up as violently as she had gone onto her side. Adam was hurled back across the salon, the drum set right behind him piling on top of the bewildered young man. The concrete and steel hull of the boat groaned as she rocked back and forth a couple more times, then fell silent as the churning water and sound of motors drifted off into the darkness.
