Sailing with my dad and crew of 5 or so off of Nantucket. Too many cocktails and late in the day.
We were motoring in and picked up a mooring line in the screw. I jumped in and tried to free the line from the prop shaft. Somebody on board, that didn't know I was in the drink, decided to try and free the line by gunning the throttle and forward and reversing the transmission just as I was about done untangling the mess. There was some slack due to the tide and my arm got between the prop shaft and the hull. Severe bruising but otherwise made it up okay. Never drank on the water again!
