You're right that I was hoping to hear these types of stories because it's 
nice to know that when I screw up I'm in good company.  I can't decide if I 
should share this with the first mate because I want her confidence to rise. 

So good of you to share. 

Thanks much, 

Randy

A brief outline- Beautiful Sunday late afternoon, San diego Yacht Club, enormous wedding party on the lawn 30 yards from our slip. Strong cross breeze, too much headway, loud crunching sounds, anchor firmly inserted into top of fiberglass dock box which then pulled off dock as I tried to reposition boat. Standing ovation from wedding party. What else can you do but take a bow.... I hope you never top that one, but if you do we all want a full written account!! Good luck!
