Thanks for the welcome! I agree about tall boots, almost never get offended or take anything personally. Oddly enough one of the only things likely to offend me is accusing me of lying.... As for cheap beer, NEVER! Cheap beer would likely have done extensive prop damage and been an expensive fix. The expensive beer I sacrificed was smooth you see and didn't ding my prop.

The 31footer I bought 7 years ago (about when this happened) was a sloop converted from a Scottish lifeboat. About 6 months ago I sold her and now reside aboard a Formosa 41 with a hull fabricated from plastic trees.

Fairwinds,
