Went sailing during a mistral with my little sister when I was 14 or 15. Was stuck out on the waves for hours after the boat capsized. My dad had popped off to give my uncle a lift somewhere and when he came back the dingy and us two kids where nowhere to be found.
It was pretty intense. Me and my sister were exhausted from trying to right the boat, which would constantly catch the wind and then just go back over again.
Eventually the French Navy came and rescued us. They also recovered the dingy and me and my dad managed to get it back the next day after going down the coast asking every harbour master if they had a recovered dingy on their books.
