That sounds excellent!

Wind was light last night, ~8-12, and I get a ride on a faster boat that just got a new chute and it racing with it for the first time. This could be interesting. Just before the start the wind picks up, reef. We are getting ready, tack, a jibe and hell breaks loose. The shackle on the jib halyard failed/opened. Sail in the water, boats everywhere, wind picking up...

Thats my little adventure for the day. At the time it was pretty stressful, just makes me appreciate the real bad situations even more.
