Back in action!

Jeffrey Meyer

After 10 days on the hard, Big Wave is back in the water. Last Friday, I ran us hard aground at cruise speed—wrecked the props, shafts, and struts. 100% my fault, plus a bit of bad luck. The silver lining? We limped into one of the best boatyards I’ve ever encountered. Skilled, generous, and hard-working people who got us back together faster than I could’ve hoped. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover it. Today we’re moving again—but I’m not the same skipper. Every channel marker gets my full attention. The throttles come back at the slightest hint of shallow. I’m vigilant. A little spooked. A lot humbled. Out here, we all live on the edge. Calamity can strike from just beneath the surface. But that’s the deal, isn’t it? If we wanted safety, we’d be home on our chesterfields. Here’s to the risk, the repair, and the ride. 🛥️💥🛠️
