(hangs head sheepishly) I had my knife in my pants pocket inside my
foulies and couldn't get it out fast enough.

I figured as much - I sure my razor sharp pocket carry would have been
equally inaccessible. I always keep a large rigging knife at the
helm, but it's been used for so many miscellaneous tasks over the
years it doesn't have much of an edge left. I keep meaning to sharpen
it ...



I'd rather talk about the great two days sailing we had, bettering 8
knots constantly on a broad reach. The swells were up to 12' at times
and were great surfing... made it hard to sleep up in the V-berth tho

My perfect days are always better than yours - But your disasters are
much more interesting. ;-)
