Shame and debasement
"Scotty" wrote in message news  "KLC Lewis" wrote in message ... I like your second post much better, but can you think of any other things you should have done differently? When he wrote about throwing the anchor, I thought he was going to try to kedge off. SBV It's kinda funny, but no one has mentioned what started all of this: the engine. If one relies upon their engine to be able to get back home or to get out of trouble, having it "slowly stop running" should be a matter of concern. I believe that the first order of business shouldn't have been continuing the sail, but in finding out why the engine died, and fixing it. |

I believe his wife failed to replace it the night before, even though she knew it was going to die the next day. Scotty |
