LOL... You're probably referring to my description of the retrieval process I use, which I posted on Sailnet a while back.

Yeah, does sound like a major pita, but I'd bet it'd be worth it if I was in the !@#$ so much I felt I needed to deploy it.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
