......
It being winter on the New England coast, falling into 10 ft. of freezing salt water would result in hypothermia as we struggled to get out on the ice covered rigging. In the process, I would have deep sixed the car keys and the cell phone shorted out in the salt water. Walking a mile back to the highway, we would finally get a passing pickup truck to stop and he would drop us at a bar down the road. The kind hearted barkeep would let me use his phone so I could call the wife to come down with the spare set of keys and buy us a stiff drink to warm us up.
What a guy's gotta do to get a free drink!
