...a puffer fish, 3 or 4 small kingfish, like 6 or 7 sharks, a guy in a sinking sailboat and a couple of crabs.
Got sunburned on my legs and arms and neck and such but my knees are killing me.
Oh, what's that? Guy in the sailboat? Oh, that!
Yeah, this genius was in a small wooden sailboat with no radio or anything. Just signal flares and a small outboard. It was a nice sailboat but I would have least had a waterproof radio with a buoyancy bladder on board. Well we were on our way back in and I hear some shouting but we can't see anything. We slowed down and the shouting became more clear. Then we saw him.
This dude was in the water next to a swamped sailboat. Been out there for a little bit. His signal flares floated away and he was clutching all the teak parts. Apparently he got swamped by a gust of wind while he was using this piddly little trolling motor to get back in to the bay. If we hadn't found him, God knows what would have happened.
We got him and his junk on the boat and towed his stuff in while my friend told him how stupid he was for going out like that, by himself, and no radio or itinerary.
But today, for all my troubles, I have the stinging pain of sunburn. I was using SPF 50 stuff all day too and apparently it wasn't good enough.
