It shows the evils of sailing in the wrong place and the wrong time.

Just goes to show the evils of sailing a boat instead of working on it!
That boat already needed work, including new bottom paint. There was no
reason to take her out. The wages of sin .....

He didn't hit bottom. It's 20+ feet there. It was the roll.

Turns out someone I know knows this guy, and I'm trying to find out.
Obviously, he made had a big lapse in judgement. I just can't imagine why.
It's pretty obvious when there are breaking waves.

That was ugly. I wonder if the mast came off because of the rollover, or
if it hit the bottom. WTF was the guy doing sailing there?

The wages of stupidity, more like.

And the boat may not have needed bottom work. A lot of boats that get
prepped for racing have very patchy looking bottoms from being sanded
fair... the anti-foul is this slick short-term stuff that's clear.

Not surprising, it looked like the boat got really hammered.

Maybe he was in close, trying to avoid an unfavorable current. Maybe he
thought he could get a boost by surfing those waves. Maybe there was a
really beautiful woman on shore he wanted to get a closer look at.

You'd be wrong. It's plenty deep. It was the breaking waves.

Yeah it's not to bright to surf next to a rockey shore. Im sure his
mast was tore off due to a shallow hard bottom.

Yachtsea with dice on the side was fitting, he rolled the dice on that
one an has a major bad day. He was lucky not to have pitch poled.

If your going to surf you better have a boat that can plane with a
fast to rise bow, or you better have a full heavy keel.

It happened in San Francisco. He was not interested in any woman.

How do you know for sure? A lot of gay hair dressers or fashion
designers have to look very closely at women.

I think it might have been an attempt to surf, which is fine, except that
you don't do that if the waves are breaking. Usually, if you see surfers
there, it's not the right time.

I'm trying to get more info.

Check it out.. I'm betting this guy will not try this again. Looks like
everyone got into the act. This was one lucky dude... should have known
better than to try and sail in that spot.


Did you call the police and report him? no doubt

LP


Jon-boy probably also gave him a blow job.


You're a liar, Horvath. What's with 'probably'?
