Ah... Haaa! It has to be a really good one... <EBG>
Can't be worse than slamming sailboat against seawall while lifting it on a
davit and busting keel and bottom. Then falling on your can while trying to
keep it from falling back in the water... Sliding down seawall while tangling
your jeans on a cleat and then dangling head down from seawall... All the
while screaming our favorite four letter word... Can it? How about
fiberglassing two fingers together while repairing bottom and having to have
a doctor retrieve them two fingers?

Oh c'mon!
Pretty Please?
With sugar on top?
If you don't tell us, We won't be able to laugh about it and then go out and
repeat the same mistake while blaming the boat for it. You will deprive us of
the chance to go home feeling silly for repeating that mistake... Or having a
story for our grand children...
Guys.. ooooops... people... we need ideas so we can go out and screw up...
I think I am going to name my next sailboat the "Screw-up" or maybe "Foul-up"

SF
BTW: I think we should create an encyclopedia of sailing/boating snafus to
present to new boat owners.. That way they won't feel so bad when they
foul-up and they can refer to page where someone else had previously screwed
up same way and smile...
