Sport Today

Another great reason to be rid of all tie-on booms:

When pulling my tie on down today (leverage), i managed to get the middle finger of my
right hand pinched between the boom nose and the mast.
The force of the *** rush to the tip of my finger popped the top 4000 layers of skin
off the tip of my finger, leaving me without a lot of my valuable ***!
It is a bad enough cut that I really should get stitches, but i've decided to simply take
the day off sailing, and wrap myself in tape!
Cool, huh?

Maybe you should change your signature to
