all sure I'll be up to single handing it back by this weekend. Anyone
willing to lend a hand sailing or motoring (depending on conditions) back to
Old Saybrook?

Hope someone comes to your rescue...I did a similar Coup de grace a
number of years ago up in Harbor Springs, MI...not fun. You will feel
those ribs for a long, long time....

I had a Windrider many years ago, went to pull the mast out of the step,
cleared it from the hole, then stepped back to steady it, then back some
more, then more, then right off the dock. Didn't break anything except the
Windex, but I did get some applause from the crowd watching.
