Sailed Sherman Isle Weds. 6.3/285/220#/1-3pm. Best time in a long time
up there. Parked close to the water, which wasn't hard since tide was
in. 20 knot wind and small swell made it possible to rig big for the
holes.

I had an interesting experience yesterday while sailing at Berkeley with my
girlfriend. She was sailing upwind and behind me. When I turned, I couldn't see
her anymore. As I sailed in her direction, I noticed her down in the water with
another sailor and they were franticly waving at me. When I got to them, I saw
that the guy had a deep, two-inch wide cut on his neck and he was bleeding
pretty badly. She stayed with him while I sailed in to the Cal Sailing Club to
get help. We came back out in a motorboat and picked him up and the paramedics
took him to Highland. The guy had jibed right in front of my girlfriend and
they collided. She went through his sail and was fine, although a bit shaken
up. She talked to him this morning and he is going to be OK. He had surgery
last night and the doctors said that he was very lucky because he was
millimeters away from cutting a major artery. You could actually see a large
purple artery through the cut. We thought he must of gotten the cut from a fin,
but he thinks he cut his neck on his boom. He said that he looked around before
he jibed and didn't see anyone. Has anyone noticed a blind spot while sailing?
Hopefully, this is the closest we will come to an on-the-water injury.
