Ed, that was me out there with the broken U-joint. Thanks for helping! Was
it you who called the coast guard? I'm really glad they were there, good
chance I would have damaged my brand new $1500 JP board trying to sail in.
Jay was the one that picked me up at Coyote marina, he was right on top of
things. There was some confusion as after I was on the boat they were
looking for a guy in a red helmet but we figured my red vest got confused
with "red helmet" Jay heard all this on the radio from shore and was
waiting for the boat when it pulled in. I have your line in my van, I can
put it in my vest and hand it back to you in the water if we don't meet on
shore next time, I'm easy to spot, RED vest, BLUE helmet, BIG sunglasses.
Thanks again.
Jon
