OPERATOR ADVISED THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY TO THE MARINA WHEN A POP UP THUNDERSTORM HIT THE AREA.  THE WIND AND WAVES FROM OTHER BOATS WERE VERY HIGH DUE TO EVERYONE TRYING TO ESCAPE THE STORM AT ONCE. AS THEY NEARED THE MARINA PASSENGERS 2 AND 5 RAN FROM THE BACK OF V1 TO THE FRONT TO RETRIEVE THEIR SHIRTS. THE OPERATOR IMMEDIATELY TOLD THEM TO SIT DOWN AND PASSENGER 2 SAT ON THE FLOOR BUT PASSENGER 5 WAS STILL ON HIS FEET WHEN SHE HAD TO PULL BACK ON THE THROTTLE DUE TO A LARGE WAVE THAT CAME OVER THE BOW. THE WAVE AND POWER REDUCTION CAUSED PASSENGER 5 TO FALL OVERBOARD BETWEEN THE PONTOONS. THE OPERATOR IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE KILL SWITCH AND THE PASSENGER EMERGED FROM THE STERN OF V1 WITH THE MINOR INJURIES TO HIS BACK.
