LOL, you were very lucky to get away with so little damage... especially after pissing off your s/o... There's no percentage in pissing off your s/o, especially if you're handicapped by not having your glasses at the time.
I am guessing that you've got a brand new pair of Croakies on the replacement glasses of yours.
I'd keep a second pair aboard just in case.
BTW, you should probably have taught her the basics of manuevering your sailboat under power, for just such an emergency....
If you had fallen overboard instead of just your glasses, what could she have done? If you're sailing singlehanded—ie,
without a crew that can get you back on the boat—make sure you've got everything you need setup so that it can't leave the boat. That includes your glasses in your case, since you're way past legally blind without them.

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.
