[quote=gcamick]Reading this gave me a deja-vu moment. Here's my story summary:
-way too novice sailor and crew
-new boat
-too much wind (15-20kts)
-fun at first
-gust...fly hull...other hull completly under water
-dump main and sigh of relief
-start home...shift...gust.. dump me in water...hanging on to hull for dear life
-dump main from in water ... get back on boat
-notice deep gash on top of thumb
-drop main...sail to stranger's shore with jib
-knock on door and return 2 days later to retrieve boat
-boat looks like crime scene due to blood everywhere (thinking of new name for boat due to blood stains)
-counting ourselves lucky
Lots of good lessons learned.[/quote]
