Just stepped out onto the swim platform in the dark and damn near went in
the drink.
About a quarter-inch of frost and ice. *That* would have woke me up in a
hurry.

Ice??? I had my Sandpiper 565 sailboat out yesterday afternoon for a
great sail. Lots of wind and sun, although I have to admit it did get
cool as the sun lowered in the sky. Almost time to put the shorts &
short sleeved shirts away. Because my sailboat sits a bit high on it's
trailer I had to wade into the salt water to about groin height to help
line it up. It wasn't bad.

Natalie Wood fell off her boat in the middle of the night and drowned.
Warm water or cold water..........it is a dangerous thing when happening in
the middle of the night when no one is around.

I took a spill off our dock this summer. It is the second time in my
boating life that I fell in off the dock. DOH! Interestingly enough,
despite her neurological/muscle disorder in her legs my wife has never
fallen off the boat or the dock.

I've got to admit, the first thought coming to my mind is that you were
on the swim platform to 'take a leak'. Hmmm, let's see, posted at 6:13

That's still legal unless that old lady in the ketch behind him sees
