Yes, Danny had a full recovery. It took a long time to heal and he still has a thin scar. I was in that cast for 7 weeks. The guy's insurance company gave us some cash for personal items lost as well, a couple of hundred each.

What's funny is that something ALWAYS seems to happen to me during these annual adventures. My wife is used to me coming home injured in one way or another. Once it was a sprained ankle from a bad skydiving landing. Typically it's from the mountain biking. The day before the sailing we were up at Platakill Ski Resort, biking down the ski slope trails. No injuries. I didn't go down once.

So when she met me at the airport and I was being helped off the plane and into a wheelchair, she assumed it was the downhill stuff. "No, this happened on Saturday sailing on Barnegat Bay." "What did you do, slip and fall on the dock you idiot," she replied?

... She wasn't happy when I told her what actually happened. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
