The only thing I actually hit this time was the fog in my brain.

I had a similar experience leaving Pt. Judith last year. I had come
in the
night before, and was sure I knew the way out so didn't check the
chart. But
I wasn't so lucky as to hit soft mud. Struck a rock at 4-5 kts.
which threw
me all the way from the cockpit down the companionway. Luckily,
there was no
damage to the boat, but I was pretty uncomfortable for a few days.
