Looking for Murphy

Article Abstract:

Sailors take perverse pleasure in facing up to Murphy's Law that states 'if it can go wrong, it will', and most derive a great deal of satisfaction from successfully dealing with things that go wrong. A first-hand account of problems faced and overcome on the water demonstrates that they are an integral part of the sailing experience.

Out of a hole

Article Abstract:

A description of an exciting trip across a narrow five-mile long channel between a series of shoals off the mainland and vast sandbank, without a chart, is narrated. Good seamanship is said to be the ability to be resourceful to get out of a situation that a wiser person would never have gotten into in the first place.
