Like the other day. We went sailing and I forgot that I had taken down the
forestay to repair the roller furling. When I yanked the mainsail up and the
wind filled it, down came the mainmast. So we had to tie it alongside and
use the motor. But it wouldn't start. I traced the problem to a corroded
ground connection which I fixed but it still wouldn't start. So I then
traced it to a bad battery. So I switched it out for one of the house
batteries and it started. But then it quit again. I traced this to a clogged
fuel filter which I changed out and it ran long enough to get us back to our
anchorage in the cove by Volleyball beach. But we had to stop twice to
unwind mast halyards from the propeller.


Maybe you should give up sailing and take up gin rummy or something.

Maybe you should read more carefully. T'wasn't me in that first post,
but our local parodist. Nice parody, with lots of inaccuracies about
our time, but entertaining, nonetheless.

Sorry, Skippy but SOMETHING had to be done to troll you up. These people were having Skippy withdrawal symptoms and some were extremely worried about your well being having not heard word one from you in months. How dare you so abuse your loving audience?

Be sure to work you way up to the Abacos in time for Regatta time there. Don't miss it.
