Wayfarer..it is I that owes you a apology, I am not one for "forum" talk and didn't realize that it was the previous person you were referring to. Also, in my ignorance of the situation I made some rash suppositions about things that after talking to Susan were completely false. She mentioned how brave and talented the crew was. If I am not mistaken again, you were one of those on the boat that did exactly like I would have done (and more) had I been there. I do know some things about the previous owners representation of the boat that made me shy away from buying it, but never has the saying "being in the same boat" meant quite as much as hearing your heroic adventure. I damned near bought that boat, had it not been for a few things that didn't quite jib with Paul's statements about the boat's condition, I would have been the one on the port tack struggling to reach land. Congratulations for getting Lazy Jack to where you did, and for your excellent job trying to save that boat.

I did not mean to imply that "you" wrote the line I was quoting. And if it is read that way give me a minute to post again. The line I was quoting was written two posts above you by a guy named NOT SURE. You have been a gentleman of the first order.
