They tow us to the dock

and I go to pay. 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.

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.

When I was younger, I blamed everything on my wife, too. But
now I'm more mature, or is it 'trained'.

Y'all still goin on on this topic? Get over it, We have. So I spent
nearly 500 bucks to be towed. Nobody got hurt, the boat is OK, I
learned about getting towed, I learned to leave my dinghy oars aboard,
and I got a story to tell my family at Thanksgiving (and I promise to
take the blame). BTW, it is still blowing 20 kts out of the north, my
idea that it would stop and blow from the south was wrong.

We're talking about Scotty now, not you. And his proclivity for putting
weird things in hsi stomach. He eats Spam, ya know...
and you think YOU were ashamed!

Mature. Always sail with the wind at your back; there's no point in
annoying the pig.
