I don't have any really interesting stories. I was always pretty careful about the weather and we took care of our boats.

I almost threw a friend of mine out of his own 20 foot speed boat when he said he was out of gas in the middle of Conception Bay with a stiff breeze from south by south west. No oars, no radio, no nothing. Next land north by north east of there is Iceland, and it is not close.

It turns out he had to ten gallon cans of gas hidden in the forecastle. He stayed dry, but I was still pretty pissed off.
