SSL 192 ~ Shascha hit by dinghy while snorkelling.. during preparations for Tropical Storm DON

- Shascha had a VERY close call when struck by a dinghy in the anchorage yesterday, she was snorkelling over the anchor as we were resetting it in preparation for the arrival of Tropical Storm DON which was due in just a few short hours... she was INCREDIBLY lucky that she wasn't just one foot closer or the prop would have gone right down her back and ripped her to shreds...
This is purely an example of what can happen even when you think everyone is paying attention, it is no fault of anyone, and no blame is being laid, but illustrates a warning to all to exercise extreme caution in the water, whether swimming or snorkelling or driving a dinghy in a busy anchorage.
STAY SAFE OUT THERE EVERYONE!
Cheers,
Captain Rick & Crew

Shascha handled this like a really strong trouper. She also demonstrated humility and forgiveness. Well done Shascha. I believe that gentleman was truly sorry, and was mortified by the many possibilities. Well done by all. Shascha needs some ice on her leg, and a few day of pampering. Peace to all of you with great fondness.
No believe the guy was a true gent . Gonna say that no blame here for anyone we didn't see the whole story glad everyone was ok
Shascha, you are an amazing woman and so positive. Be well
you will be sore tomarrow keep it clean put some Neosporin on it if you have it
What a trooper as we say in the states, you're one tough lady Shascha! Heal quickly!
Quick recover. Strong woman
So damn lucky. Please be careful out there! You guys are like family to us!!
glad you are ok
She takes a hit like that, does a double shot top-less and laughs about it. She's one tough cookie!
Glad to see she's OK!
Beautiful ladies on a bow. What else could one ask for. Glad your ok Admiral Shascha ! ! ! !
It just so easy to see how people get run over while in the water, so pleased Shascha is ok,. She will be very sore in the morning. Some TLC needed.
Good luck for the wild night you are going to have, hang on & enjoy the ride...
Cheers

I was raised on the water, being from Minnesota, as my dad used to be the President of the boat club and taught both my brother and I everything he knew about boating and water safety. As we did a lot of water skiing we learned to be aware of everything and everyone in and out of the water around us at all times. I use those same skill even when I drive my car now. My son learned those skills as a schoolbus driver. Situational awareness we call it. I taught my son to even be aware of what is going on in his side vision and even what is going on behind him by paying attention to all of his senses.
my friend from high school was hit in the mouth with the ski tow rope bar
hr 777 OUCH! Since I've never been on a ski slope, I have no idea if there is any way that could have been prevented or not. Some accidents just seem to come out of nowhere with out any warning. There isn't much you can do about them if you can't see them coming.
Donald CHA49 my hamster "Dave" was out for a swim off the dock yesterday in Kempenfelt Bay and he almost got mowed over by a canoeist who claims he didn't see him ..... Ruined a perfect pair of Hamster shorts !!
Yes you are very right always know your suroundings
John Mann I didn't know hamsters could swim.
Wow - close call. Glad she was OK. The other captain and partner were really sincere on the apology and concern for the well being of Shascha. Thanks Rick!
Gosh that was very close to being much worse, I am very glad Shascha is going to be ok after the wounds heal. Let the wounds heal over for a day then do lots of swimming the salt water is a good healer. So many boats are always lacking a good anchor its very good you upgraded yours.
Get healed soon, Shascha. Wishing you and the crew, safer sailing.
Sascha is very devoted to the boat and a damn hard worker too!
If every day you come in with a positive attitude, things will get better. Shascha what a trooper, always positive, glad you are Ok.
Man close shave Sascha... so glad you are not badly hurt. S African fella obviously very upset as well, couldn't apologise enough, good bloke :-)
I'm sorry to see that Shacsha got injured. You guys handled the situation with very camly. :) I'm hoping you make it through the storm unscathed and that Shascha doesn't have any complications.
Really glad Sasha is ok and its really nice to see people like this guy that are really sorry and affected by the incident :)
Looks like Sacha was swimming with her angels nearby. She was so lucky seeing just how close that prop was.
Sasha really does seem have some Golden HorseShoes! So glad you're ok Sasha!
Please be vigilant and keep a close eye out for infection. Nobodys need that to deal with.
I also hope your weather that tropical storm with ease.... Be well ALL!!!!
Tough Chick you got there Rick. She didn't even sound that pissed. That could have been a night under the surgeons needle and thread. Glad all are okay and a lesson was learned.
That was too close for comfort! I am so glad Shascha is ok it could have been so much worse. I could tell the young man felt horrible and was scared as well. My kudos to him he did come back and check on her. Was nice he brought her some gifts as well, but I am sure the fact that he came back said enough. We all know accidents can happen. Best advise here is always pay attention when moving to what is in front of you. Stop moving if there is a side distraction. Cheers and always look forward to the videos. Thanks for sharing as always.
Good Afternoon from the US. I am so glad that I found you all on CZcams. This is going to be exciting, watching you live your life on the sea.
Wow, terribly scary!! really going to be sore. Prayers and blessings for safeness during the storm and quick healing for Shascha!
Man, talk about brave, tough and nice to boot. All that and beauty to. It is scary to think how bad things could have gone. Hope you heal well soon. I know now not to mess with this lady!
Wow, that was close! Good thing it was not one of those pirogues ! These things can happen so easily. I'm always paranoid when I'm in the water checking my anchor, especially when surfacing. I'm glad Shascha is OK.
1st of all so glad shascha,s ok. Rick thanks for putting this video out. Shows just how fast things can go wrong. A good safety reminder for everyone. Hope everything went ok overnight.
I think Rick said it exactly, when y'all shouted "LOOK OUT" it got his attention directed to you, right as it happened. Sooner shout maybe, hind sight. Glad she's ok, lesson for us all.
Be safe!
So glad you are alright, it has always been a phobia of mine to get run over by a boat while snorkeling! Based on the barnacle scrapes on your upper back and those cuts being perpendicular to the cuts on your upper leg (plus their length and pattern) there is no doubt that the prop touched your leg. It is almost miraculous that you weren't more seriously injured!
I"ve grown up on boats, when people start yelling at you, your first instinct should be putting it in neutral and maybe he did. Glad you are ok!!
Love the go pro underwater cam at times like this to really see the anchor set, etc! Hope Shascha heals up quickly with no worries~ Thanks Rick for the info on the anchor as well!
A real down to Earth conclusion Rick, an accident thans What it was. Imagine What could have happened. What a trooper Sacha is!!
Shascha I have said it before, you are one hard worker and a tough woman! Hope your feeling better!
Glad it wasn't worse. Always wise to share something like this so we can all review safety guidelines.
Wow! That was scary! Shascha, so glad you were not hurt more than you were. Lots of lessons learned.
Wow what a close call, will keep her in our prayers. Take care and as always be safe and have fun.
Scary, I'm glad the injury wasn't worse. Get better soon Sacha.
Perfectly handled by everyone. Good job people, glad Sasha wasn't badly injured.
Tropical storm Rick! Hope you're feeling better Sascha! Keep the rum flowing!
Shascha. I'm so glad you weren't hurt badly. What a shame to scratch up such a pretty gal. Glad your ok.
That said, when working in a retail SCUBA shop, I would always guide snorkelers to red, yellow, bright green or pink snorkels for visibility reasons.
Thank God, you are all right Shascha! I'm praying you are doing well.
Thank you for posting/sharing this. As a soon to be charter boater, this is a real wake up call how important it is to watch the dinghy driving at anchorages!! I am glad she is ok.
thank God she is ok. Be safe
Shascha.......Lucky the Grey was looking out for you. Good luck on the storm-watch !
Shascha is awesome. She is a huge asset to the program Rick. Who else would be cleaning something often neglected as a TS approaches? She is fit, attractive and works hard to do her part. She seems to have learned the ropes effectively. I suspect you could do a whole lot worse. Dear God, that could have been a disastrous accident! I'm very happy everyone got a chance to learn something and that no one actually got badly hurt. Hope the storm passed safely. It seems to be a remnant low pressure system today thankfully.
That was too close to being a tragedy! Glad you are OK Shascha.
That looks like it was sore. Happy you are ok, good luck with the storm.
Thank goodness Sascha is OK! A very close call! You handled it quite well. I hope all goes well with Sophisticated Lady and the crew during TS Don, and for the beautiful island of Grenada.
So sorry that happened. I will use the lesson and keep a float ring with a diver flag on it when I am in that situation. I am a solo sailer so I have tp be extra careful. No one to keep an eye out for me.
good job captain john
Many of us New Sailors will be starting out Solo, so all safety tips are appreciated! The thought of sailing solo across the ocean is darn frightening!
Well, since that idiot was driving his boat in one direction, and obviously looking in another, I'm not sure what good a diver down flag would have done.
So glad you're o.k. Sascha! I know the guy didn't mean to hit you and you could tell just how bad he felt about it! Very cool that he came back and gave you a bag of goodies! Take good care of the wound please. I hope the storm wasn't too bad! Much Love to you guys! Misty 🌼
very cool of Shascha for how she handled the entire matter.
Thanks for sharing. So very glad Sasha wasn't seriously hurt & am praying she recovers fast & without much discomfort & pain. Felt for the dingy driver too. I couldn't imagine accidentally hitting someone. I know he must have felt like 💩 for sometime. Very positive yet sober safety reminder that accidents can & will happen. I agree with previous comment about utilizing a diving flag ⛳️ in the future especially in a busy area. I'll be sure to keep this in mind when I start sailing to distant shores. Warmest of blessings & well wishes to Sasha, Rick & the crew & family of SV Sophisticated Lady. Fairest of winds!
It's not just the pain from the gashes she has in her body, but the emotional TRAUMA! You captain acted with total apathy!
You're absolutely right. We all realized it later, that something settled in my head after that ...
Captain, just shocked ... For a second he thought that the dinghy had cut me in half. These are just the consequences of the shock. We just go and do the look that nothing happened ...
Glad Shascha is ok. Very scary situation. I think you need to take more precautions, life is precious.
Hi Rick and Shascha, from me in New York! So glad you are ok, Shascha. Truly it's a concern even when at an anchorage. I'm sure the captain will take good care of you!
Thank God she is okay and was swift enough to avert the worst of it. I have seen a woman with her back slashed open all along her spine and died when they got her on the beach. It could have been so so much worse. Lesson learned.
I got hit by a prop in a diving accident in Egypt a few years back. I can still hear the prop hitting my cylinder then ripping my buoyancy compensator to shreds then hitting me.
It’s a long story, but I finished up sinking into the depths on a drop-off, with no fins, no mask, weight belt still on and my compensator in tatters. It felt like I had been hit four or five times in my hip and thigh with a very large hammer. Oh, and we were at this particular site to dive with the sharks and I was bleeding.
I’m glad Shascha is OK. It’s a wakeup call to the dangers of snorkelling near your vessel. It makes me shudder sometimes when you see Jet Skis hurtling through anchorages.
Damn, she is a lucky girl. Definitely need to think about how to improve monitoring of people in the water. I know in my AB dinghy the bow tends to lift up totally obscuring the water right in front of the boat. I saw exactly what was going to happen...the driver had no clue why everyone was yelling. LUCKY LUCKY girl!
☀️🏝⛵️🍸sorry Sasha . That was scary. Keep it clean!! Hope all is well.
Best wishes and a speedy recovery to Shascha.
Wow glad you were not seriously injured! Very positive lady
Nice guy hope his nerves calm. I would not sleep well after being involved for a while. Very scary to watch
god bless you guys that is exactly why a captin must always be aware of all crew at all times god speed rick and crew
Mistakes happen, and we will learn from our mistakes. Get well quickly. We send prayers to you Shascha.
I am thankful she was not hurt worse. It could have been much different, We love you Shascha!
wow that was a close call! Glad Shascha didn't get hurt more than she did. I can see how, with the bow of his dingy being raised so high out of the water that he couldn't see her straight in front of him. I can also see how he didn't see her snorkeling before he started to head her way. A fluorescent snorkel would have been much more visible. I've always been nervous about running into someone snorkeling and hope this raises an awareness to both parties involved plus everyone else that has seen this video. Cheers Shascha.....heal up swiftly!
Shascha, Happy that you were not seriously injured. Heal up quickly. As others have already pointed out, a dive flag could save you from serious injury or worse. And we can't let that happen to to such a fine crew. Besides, getting hurt is such a buzz kill.
Love the videos. Stay safe.
Shascha - so happy you are OK! Rick can be your man-servant during your recovery!! In a highlight to dingy dangers, a 12 year old sailing student was killed after being hit by the prop from the instructor's dingy this past week - Sad news. Again we are so glad you are OK.
Never Panic and Never ASSUME. The FIRST things the Chief Boatswain taught us.
Ouch! Hope everything heals fast. Not much that rum can't make at least a little better, lol. Y'all be safe
oh my! Oh my! that scared the b-jezus out of us , especially when the bow rose up right over her. Sasha has become so important to all of us and it hurts us too. be well and keep ahead of the possible infection. all sorts of microscopic creatures in that water.
Very happy Sasha is ok. Damn that was close to being an extremely bad situation. Take care everyone.
thanks rick good video, we can never have too much safety advice
I was so worried when I saw the boat headed for her. I hope that all will be great. Please give everyone my best.
Wow..so glad Sascha wasn't hurt more! The storm wasn't that bad in carriacou.
I hope you are alright Shascha. Love from Slovenia.
I am so happy that you are OK Sacha....My prayers are with you. I know of a freshwater boating accident where the person in the water was not so lucky. Red flag is required in many states with someone in fresh water. Seems like a good idea when the anchorage is crowded as this one is. Thank God you were not hurt seriously. I am a big fan... Ron
OMG! I hate that so bad for Shascha! I’d recommend dive flags in the future. This could have been a real disaster. Poor baby!
That was very scary! Especially since a 12 year old boy died in a dinghy accident here in Oyster Bay New York just a couple of days ago, he fell out of the dinghy and cut by the prop. Thank God this wasn't worse and Sasha is okay. Stay safe everybody.
So glad it was not worse for Shascha. Hope you heal fast. :)
She was lucky!!! I have 38 lacerations from my waist to my forehead from a 125 horse Johnson and it killed the nerves on the right side of my head. It cut my right eye in half and part of my skull was open to the air for 3 hours. Lost my brother in that accident. Be safe guys!
Very lucky. Thank God youre all right. Hopefully just as lucky with the storm.. Good luck
Wow kids, that could have been a real tragedy for sure! Thank goodness Shascha is ok. She took it all very well considering. I thought for sure we were going to see some of her naughty bits, but alas she was quick and covered up!
Hey Rick, Glad Shascha's ok.. That was pretty scary.... Hope that storms not to bad You Guy's Take Care
very lucky...Glad it was not worse....hope your feeling better Shascha
Wow! So glad you're okay, Shascha!
Every time I come back to this video, my heart goes up into my throat. Having spent a good time on the water myself and seeing more bad things than I've ever wanted to see, watching Shascha being hit by that dingy scared the hell out of me. It's going to take me a while to get through this. I'm glad that Shascha was not seriously hurt, but I will continue to worry until she is fully healed. You have a good family there Shascha who watches over you.
So glad she is okay. You need a diver down flag when they are in the water. So lucky. Neosporin all the wounds.
So glad that was not any worse. Hope you are feeling better Shascha. Much love.
Oh Shascha! I hope you feel better soon.
I leave on vacation for a few days and look what I miss!!! That part of the video was pretty intense and put me on the edge of my seat. Good to hear you're OK Sascha.
Shascha, I am so glad the injuries weren't worse. I wish you fast healing and a speedy recovery. You will have to stay out of the water for a while as immersion will slow the dermis healing time. A diver flag would on not made a difference here. The boat pilot was not paying attention in a harbor.
USCG Master Captain and PADI MSDT Instructor
Sascha has the most gorgeous legs EVER. Glad they weren't cut any worse than that. Glad she didn't get sucked into the prop. Luck was definitely on her side that day. She sure was a trooper about the accident afterwards. Sascha you obviously have great character. 👍
Really sorry that happened to you Sascha...i always say when boating it takes less than a split second for thing to turn upside down. you are a very lucky lady. Take care guys.
OMG!!! Shascha I'm glad your going to be OK! Thank God!!!
So Frightening, that definitely could have been much worse. Barnacle scratches on the shoulder for sure and prop on the leg. Just keep clean and dry and apply antibiotic ointment. Definitely get a dive flag float . Rick I still flinched when she was hit even with the advisory.
BE SAFE FROM BOATS AND THE STORM.
So thankful Shascha injuries weren't any worse. Felt badly for her and the gentleman that accidentally hit her with the dinghy. Accidents happen, unfortunately. Also hope you weather the storm without much too much problem or worry. All the best to you all!!!
So sorry to hear about Sascha. On anchors, I’ve always trusted my 65 lb Manta which works great !
So glad your OK Shascha brave lady x
Yup I can see how that happened it is so easy to happen and that was way to close.
Thanks for posting the wake up call for all us boaters to see and remember.
We just had a 12 year boy killed this past week he was doing sailing lesson the boat flipped and got picked up in a Inflatable and when it took off he fell out and got run over it can go so wrong so fast.
So glad Shascha is o.k
Шурик, береги себя!!! Чудом, чудом ушла от мясорубки.
That was scary to watch, very happy that Shascha only got scratched...
W0W... I glad Shascha she's fine .... Get well soon Shascha , take care ... xoxoxo Hug's 4 u guys
Shascha is the best and she will heal 100%. I felt really bad seeing her get hurt because I think she is a great girl.
Shascha im so glad you are ok. It looks like it could have been much worse. You were MAD! I thought you would drag that guy out of his boat.. he didn't want to come near you at first!
I could see he was very very sorry.
Damn very lucky! Good luck with DON!!
Sure glad she's alright. Close call. I always worry about jet skier's running over people.
