Shame and debasement

By this time I was seriously happy to be off the boat with my wife so even *the astonishing cost of $480* didn't faze me much. It was $10/ft for the ungrounding (28' sailboat) and then $165 minimum and a couple other fees. snip... Whoo hoo! Around here the Coast Guard...or some friendly boater will always come to the rescue...for free. Re-thinking this, I regret posting it. It has me blaming my wife for my predicament when I had nobody but myslf to blame. If I had displayed much more confidence and a fun atitude I could probably have talked my wife into enjoying the overnight grounding. Unfortunately, I consider sailing to be an excercise in problem solving so I do not sail for the same reasons she does. I DID invite her. I apologize. David OHara David, I like your second post much better, but can you think of any other things you should have done differently? You should have just had your wife taxied to shore. She's wasn't wrong by not wanting unplanned adventure, but you weren't wrong in wanting to handle the problem without dropping half a grand. If she doesn't mind time away, I'd suggest you do your sailing alone or with people who understand that challenge is part of the deal. Scout |
