I came, I sailed, I grounded

There's a saying about sailors: there are those who have grounded, those who will, and those who won't leave the dock [sic]. This photo is my bit of humility - a result of utter carelessness. Thankfully, it's been almost 10 yrs since doing anything like that, though I admit I've come close. I remember a gale and a lee shore and no engine the winter before last. I nearly took out the warf at penn cove (and a restaurant and a museum) before I could get the anchor aboard and the sails up. Lessons learned about setting a sentinel/kellet, but that's another story.
