Skippy isn't THAT pathetic!

Faint praise. Still, so true. From the report:

This is the second time since leaving a New England port, bound for
Charleston, that Oger and the Gypsy Dane have required emergency
assistance.

According to published reports, on Saturday, Nov. 8, the USS Gonzalez,
a Navy missile destroyer based in Norfolk, Va., responded to a distress
call from the boat, adrift in 10-foot seas off the coast of Virginia.

So many catty remarks come to mind, but the reporter did it for me.
