Meet Jack

Jack is a cruiser...

He is a single-hander...

He sails into an anchorage with his life jacket on...

He doesn't need charts....

He runs aground....(happens to the best of us)

He appreciates help....

But he is embarrassed....

and he can't watch everyone helping....he keeps stopping us (and others) who are using better techniques than what he has tried.

Instead, Jack is waiting for high tide.  I would love to wake up in the morning and see he has floated away to deeper water.

Best of luck Jack!  I hope you can help us if this happens to Terrapin.

3 dingys pulling on the main halyard with an anchor to kedge from, an engine pushing forward and several people hanging from the boom will still not get a well-grounded boat off a mud shoal. Better wait for high tide.. (p.s. he floated free at 2am)
