Karoline Santana was on the deck at the rear of the 28-foot Bertram flybridge cruiser taking pictures of the setting sun on the river at Brooklyn when, bang, suddenly there was this massive loud explosion and fire was hugging my body, she said from her hospital bed in the burns unit of the Royal North Shore Hospital. I remember rolling on the floor thinking only about what my mum always taught me, that if one day I, for any reason I would be set on fire to roll on the floor until the fire was gone.
