“Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don’t want.” - Esther Hicks
Bulkheads and gasketed hatch covers work providing floatation. If you are out of your boat, it's upside down and water pressure is closing your hatch covers even more tightly.
The ton of bricks (you) is out the boat, so it floats very high emptying the cockpit.
Float/dry bags help you carry extra gear, to you kayak and add a second layer of protection.
The bottom line on safety is your judgement not the boat.
Don't put yourself in the situation to test by accident- go out and test on purpose in a controlled situation and you will know the meaning of - I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
