And that is why I will NEVER, EVER, EVER leave the beach without a radio again, about 15 years later.
Before anyone gets the wrong idea; no, I don't carry the radio because I expect the world to save me from my own stupidity. That's just a last-resort deal. I also don't sail solo anymore, always dress for the conditions, and won't sail if I'm the only boat on the body of water (there's usually a good reason for that in Newport)...
