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 Tough day, but been there. You should know better. You sail in keel scraping land to start with and you got a north wind. Bars become islands, charts are suspect, and you can rarely get through a sail without a bump and a "where the hell did that come from". Fortunately, never had my wife with me while I waited for a southwest wind and the tide to bring back the water. if the specs were biting or I could get my cast net over some smoking mullet, it never bothered me to wait it out.
