I like your second post much better, but can you think

of
any other things
you should have done differently?



When he wrote about throwing the anchor, I thought he

was
going to try to kedge off.

It's kinda funny, but no one has mentioned what started

all of this: the
engine. If one relies upon their engine to be able to get

back home or to
get out of trouble, having it "slowly stop running" should

be a matter of
concern. I believe that the first order of business

shouldn't have been
continuing the sail, but in finding out why the engine

died, and fixing it.

He did mention the fuel pump. I believe his wife failed to
replace it the night before, even though she knew it was
going to die the next day.
