>About 4:00 Michael was noticing the wind dropping, but I was still okay.
>10 or 15 minutes later, I was convinced it was time to rig a bit bigger

>Michael did succeed in sailing in, but I (on my very sinky board) got

>slogged and fell, swam, body-dragged and finally got down to where I could
>walk on the sandbar between the channel mark and the bridge. It took
>about another hour to walk down to the shore, but with the falling tide,
>at least I knew I could just walk there. Met up with Robin halfway down
>the bar. Mayor Jay came in the same way another half hour later.
