That could create a probelm or two Twiddle. The retreating blade then strikes the water a litle pat, and skip, skip, right around to cut orff your silly 'ead.
Not to mention when it digs in on the left hand side it will put the xmon into the rear pax area and you will have to waste some time crossing off the non surviving pax off of your manifest clipboard before swimming away.

Best to roll it stbd, assume that the xmon will go through the fuel tanks as it disappears rearward, leaving only the seat cushions as the last remaining floaties
