Over winter I've been escorting my Hunter 19 trailer sailed, Misty. Mostly this has involved just cosmetic work, sanding and painting, repairing cracks in the rudder assembly, trailer lights and varnishing any timber exposed to the elements.
Last Sunday week ago, as the weather was heating up I thought it might be time to check out the revamped boat ramp on the Paterson River. Due to Misty's exposed centreboard casing I was mainly interested in the water depth and I could tell right away that it was fine. Feeling light hearted, that I now had a perfectly good boatramp just minutes from home, I went for a quick rockhop along the shore. As my weight bore down on a particularly large boulder it rotated rapidly sending me downwards onto my ribs. A painful week later I was referred for a liver scan to check for possible haemorrhaging. It will pass, I will get on the water.
