       A(nother) 'senior' humiliation:While loading and stowing personal gear aboard Wrack again, I had to cross from the deck of our marina neighbour's Catalina 34 sailboat to Wrack, over a gap of maybe a metre, in dead calm conditions. I ended up in the sea.‪I blacked out for a second. Then, disoriented, I reached for rigging that wasn't there and fell between the hulls, my ribs and wrist hitting Wrack's gunwhale. The water was bloody cold. I managed to swim, fully clothed, to a barnacle-encrusted ladder from which I was pulled onto the dock.‪I tried to stand up, with the help of three 'marineros' (marina workers), but couldn't so I lay on the dock for 15 minutes to regain my stability — and, it has to be said, my sodden dignity.Below, the lurid souvenirs:

       @ccohanlon woah! that's my nightmare, we know lots of folks who've lost someone they knew like that, falling between the boat and the dock and getting stuck under or freezing to death in the dark unable to find the ladder.Glad you're alright, other than a few bruises.
