Actually Bob confessed to whacking a rock a mile from his slip, even
after his navigational error had been pointed out ...


Yep...it's true. In fact Over the past 11 years I've whacked TWO rocks.
In BOTH cases I knew exactly where they were, but was CERTAIN I still
had room to navigate. When sailing in other areas of the Sound and NY
harbor I've yet to hit anything. When we went to the Thimble Islands we
dragged through some mud...but we expected to.
