Exactly! The incidents where spread over three different occasions
though.

The last thing was the most unbelievable - the skipper feeling very bad
about having run the boat aground the day before (though the charts
didn't have it marked), nervous of meeting with the owner... The owner
standing in the harbour watching the boat coming in having. The skipper
have by then driven the boat by engine for 7 hours with no problems at
all. Another boat is in the way just where we are meant to dock - time
to hit the reverse...

...nothing. As the skipper says with a deep sigh "No propeller". And the
boat crashes (slowly but heavily) into the boat, slides along it
(scratching both boats), continuing further onto the dock managing to
hit the two posts neatly folding them down. With the owner standing
staring, shouting etc.

Quite a scene.

PS. During this trip we also managed to have a very childish drinking
duel between me (Smalltalk), another guy (Java) and a third guy (C++) -
it was the final programming language duel (to end all duels) based on
nothing else but ability to drink very large drinks. :-)

It was hard work I can tell you... We where "silly drinking" at full
speed - it started with a few hefty Lollys. C++ was eliminated pretty
quick - he was in the wrong "weight class" - he did get an extra point
for a very stylish exit when he sank a Lolly in one swoop. Java was a
tough opponent though - but he offered me the victory around 4.30 in the
morning, which was very wise of him - otherwise we both would have
suffered becuase I am just too proud and stubborn for such games... So,
now we know which language is superior. :-) DS
