Todd,

I appreciate the words of wisdom....the brutal truth is that i was feeling sorry for myself as i had neglected to secure the top of my small cooler and was only able to rescue 1 corona from the deep six, so i was moping about my sunken suds instead of trying to find a creative way to upright my cat. I'm pretty new to sailing so i'm sure i'll have the chance to try the jib line technique before long.



Hummer...glad everything worked out, my wife wouldn't go w/me that day either. Do you suppose there's a lesson there somewhere? Maybe a stronger sense of self preservation?
