A Severe knockdown
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?" |

Lucky you were onboard, otherwise your electronics would have been on
e-bay the next day. Scotty "Recobee" wrote in message ... 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.
