Storm Eric reminded me of Eric Taberly

A chilling story. The worst fright I ever had on my boat was when passing tiers around the mainsail in a disturbed sea. I had failed to properly secure the mainsheet and the boom swung away with me hanging onto it. I should have had the presence of mind to let go immediately and drop onto the coachroof but it all happened so quickly I didn't have time to think.
