Well, there was the time when I was on the tiller.
It was a beautiful afternoon - we were on our way
home by way of Georgeson Pass, after spending the night
moored in a lovely little cove in the Gulf Islands.

We were running with a very low tide, must have been
doing at least 8 knots. Narrow little passes always
make me nervous and I wanted to get through that sucker fast.

Well, we misread the chart.

We hit that reef with the bottom third of our keel
that stopped us dead in our tracks. Damn, I hate it
when that happens.

They say that particular reef is blue from all the
bottom paint it has on it.

I'll tell you a happy story next time.
