    Instead of saying the boat capsized, you could also say it turned turtle. I don’t know if this expression is still used today, I remember it from an old song.

      Capsized means the boat turned at least on its side (past the point of self-righting). Turtle means it turned completely upside down.

      I wonder if Larson knew that same song in 1983, because with the dude’s head poking out like that…maybe it works??
