gone down to the marina in the face of an approaching storm and on the way to my boat or on the way back stopped to but another wrap around a cleat for a neighbor, I did not really know? I cant count them. I few times i have gotten right on a boat next door and put extra lines on.
How may times Have I been rafted 4 breast and had a guy walk across my bow. A few.
I'm very proficient with my pistol but never carry it and would never have it on board.
My motto--be insured for property loss and just be sane.
I do carry a yellow sailors knife.
