Quotable Quotes - Sailing

Matt,
I think I was fairly lucky - I had my plates well up, I was not going that fast (about 13 Kts - GPS so tide included, very rapidly down to about 5 kts) and then had to do a sharp bear off (30 deg from GPS) to put both rudders back down.  No real damage except a little filler reqd....
Ho hum...

	Ha ha, so you were that inter to windward of us before we hit.... In our case it was "Funny looking patch of water.....O F***!!" Followed by some hanging over the back of the boat to tie down the port rudder, the impact stripped the thread on the strut that holds it down....
