There's no doubt we fouled up. I believe I've been candid about
that. I believe I've also been candid about how we got where we ended
up. If it weren't for the fact that they have no chance, I'd be a
Libertarian, which main - perhaps only - plank is personal
responsibility. Been that way since I was single-digit old...

Posting your - sometimes duplicate, other than the outcome -
experiences and how you dealt with them is instructive - to us and to
others reading. I've enjoyed seeing the discussions our mishap has
spawned. This being a relatively small group, you mostly probably
don't know that similar discussions are happening in many of the
mailing lists I annoy with my logorrhea from time to time. Among them
has been discussion of weather and sea state conditions both in
general and on that specific occasion in the area in which we came to
grief. Without making excuses, I believe we were in the wrong place
at the right time. We paid the price.

Now we're doing the best we can to get back on the horse. Directions
to the barn, and later, the trail, would be appreciated. Shooting the
horse so we won't get back up (yah,, I know a long-stretch analogy,
but Lydia's a champion horser) isn't worth the dog food it would
provide :{)) - so perhaps y'all could feed it for us until we make it
back?

Skip and Lydia, blessed, despite it all

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you
didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail
away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore.
Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
