Since I moved earlier this year, my old marina on Simcoe was too far to go. We finally found one locally that we like and arranged to have her brought here this week. At the ramp, I was taking the mooring cover off, and when taking the bungee cords off the trailer that I use to prevent the cover from flapping in the wind, one of the cords got away from me and smacked me right in the kisser. Needless to say, I now have a dental appointment to have 3 front teeth rebuilt. :(

Makes paying for an in-water slip seem a lot less expensive...

Sorry to hear about the accident. Ugh, that must've hurt like hell.

I saw the thread heading and thought it would be funny. Shame on you for false advertising. More importantly I hope you feel better soon.
