And this, folks, is why one should always wear gloves when handling lines.

Tying up for the evening in strong wind, I got my fingers caught between the line and the cleat. Nothing broken, but quite cut and bruised. In the dark and the cold and the rain I actually didn’t realize it had happened until I saw the blood running out of my hand.
Ouch! Clean the daylights out of that!
I immersed it thoroughly in the ocean, does that count?
Yowsa, I bet that hurt! Love the updates!!
Good job Irene! Rory… dumbass! 😘Take care.
