[Rhodes22-list] Two Questions for Chris G of the Pacific Northwest

[Chris Geankoplis]

Hey Ed,
            I head back to Baja tomorrow, but this time we'll have a bit
more room on the larger boat.  The incident could have been the same, only
the characters may have been changed.  Anyway, the mast was indeed bent when
the coasties tried to right the boat by attaching a line to the boat and
pulling.  The kid and his date did indeed have to swim for it form the
middle of the "pot" as the once protected harbor in Poplar islands was
called to Jefferson island.  Took a while to clean up the fondue and
jellyfish out of the boat.  I'll let you know how this Baja trip goes.

Chris:

1. When do you leave on your expedition?

2. How did you get the boat upright?  Did you bend the mast?
Stan's friend the retired navy admiral did the same thing in the Chessie Bay
a couple of years ago.  They bent his mast getting his boat upright.  He
said that he was in a storm and dropped anchor.  The boat got turned
sideways and his rudder was locked down. The first wave lifted him up and
sideways and the rudder stuck in the mud locking him sideways.  The next
wave and wind flipped him upside down.  He and a guest were in the cabin and
had to swim out.
