Crud...Well,
This past Monday.
I was Race Commity for the sailing club.
Which means, I go to the start marker.
Tie off to it (anchor) and record times of the sailboats.
Monday was a crazy night on the lake, big waves, heavy wind, due to the storm.
I was watching this one sailboat, try to go around my stern (rear).
As he jibed (turned) across, the boom swung and hit the skipper, right in the noggin.
I'm watching this in slow motion.
After the boom hit him, he fell over the tiller (steering).
Next thing I know, in the crazy wind/waves, I see the bow (front) of a large 4,000lbs sailboat start turning toward me... I figure, they'll correct it... I see him still down and think... Oh crud...
This sailboat ...

This sailboat T-Boned my sailboat at a good speed, right where I was sitting.
I dove out of the way, just before impact.
After the big boom, I jump back up, and try my best to push it away.
Cracked the hull of my new sailboat... I duct tape the crack, and tie down anything that broke.
I stayed out, in this crazy weather, so they could finish the race instead of calling it when the shit hit the fan.
I find out over the next day or so, if my sailboat is bin'd, or repairable.
Anyways, I thought it was fun...
