Lucky you were onboard, otherwise your electronics would have been on
e-bay the next day.

On our way south last fall, we stopped at City Island just to get
some rest and
perhaps catch a fair tide. We tied up to an outer slip. The sky
was blue and
the wind light. We were below catching some shut eye, when without
warning
the boat laid over on it's side, spilling stores from lockers and
the crew from
their berths! Rushing topsides, with ditch bag in hand, I could
hear lines
snapping and water rushing in over the cockpit coamings. The
spreaders were
nearly horizontal when I looked up and saw this large, fat, rotund
figure
standing on the rail.

"Hi! My name's Bob. Nice boat you have. Mind if I have a look
around?"
