[quote=flynavy]My wife and I have been sailing together for over 30 years. We were out on our San juan 7.7 (26' mono hull) with some friends who were essentially ballast. They held the chips and moved from the port side of the cockpit to the starboard side when asked...eventually.
Our lake had been low all last summer, as have all the lakes in Texas an recently filled up.
We were approaching a point of land and watching the depth meter closely as we hadn't been anywhere near that point in over a year. we saw 39', 11', 3' in the matter of 15 seconds. "Hard to lee" but it was too late and we ran aground. Not hard aground but enough to stop us suddenly. Everybody but me was seated and they all watched me fly from the tiller to the companionway hatch.
My lovely bride, when recounting the story, you remember the one with 30 years sailing expereince...says: "The first thing I though of as I watched you fly by was ...who's going to sail the boat?"
If I ever fal overboard with her...I'm screwed.[/quote]
