The Fender Horror!
http://hometown.aol.com/bobsprit/images/suzsails.jpg
Yes! Look at the above pic! Leaving Port Jeff and sailing for the Thimbles, we NEVER removed two of the fenders. They remained on deck for 5 or 6 hours. Several times we were passing by other boats who frantically gestured to us about our death defying leap of fender faith, yet we still sailed onward in building winds. A low flying plane may have dipped his wings at us in a futile attempt to alert us to our desperate dangererous lubberly act! We weren't just sailing on the edge, tempting fate; we dared the devil himself to take us on, and STILL the fenders remained on deck! Then, sailing home the next day, we stowed the fenders. It was payback for our death defying stunt, an appeasment to Neptune. We know our place. Will we do it again? Perhaps. If a day, dark and weary, touches our souls we may again throw sense and safety to our whims of daring do! The Brave Captain RB |
