My DICY nomination

I may as well write Kelly's intro for him.

The day started out calmly enough. Dad came down to mount the engine ; Bob and Bengt to raise the mast. Both went off with out a hitch. Then the trouble started.

It turns out, yesterday morning, I grabbed the dead battery, not the one I just charged. So I borrow a battery from Magic, who is also tied to the bulk head, and get the engine started; we return the battery and Magic starts her engine. As we go to pull out both boats are aground. Magic in deeper water manages to free herself. Anemone needs to get towed off by the launch.

The first couple of attempts failed. Luckily Bengt and Ann were around and we managed to heal the boat enough to drag her out.

At least the engine runs. Frank is inspecting the keel this morning.
