"This two sentences are compound they are made up of two independent clauses and separated with a coordinator."
Is this sentence a compound sentence? should those two independent clauses have a connecting word between them ?
"I was hanging on to the mast with one hand, the gaskets around my neck, trying to snag the sail and get it out of the water the boom decided to kill me."
Do you think this sentence is complex setence? I can not find subordinator and there are only one independent clause.
