You guys are hilarious. Not only have I lost many an assault weapon overboard (the last ten or twelve in a nominally memorable encounter with a giant squid off the Marianas,)
But I am proud to have rescued a few other boaters, one “deadly” rescue, a few offshore radio relays including MOL ENDEAVOUR when she was on fire...
Proudest moment, for reasons you may imagine, was under sail alone - leaving Spa Creek, casting a line underway to a vessel called CANTAB, and pulling her over the shoal and into the channel.
There are some salty Freepers.
See my FR page for a link to the transoceanic sailor and Freeper Kenny Bunk.
