RE: Oops

Reminds me of the visit I and a number of friends paid to a friend's new boat, to see what kind of fixer-upper it was. Found the boat moored at the end of a long row of shelters, completely hidden from view until you were right there and with another slip just ahead, but around a corner, so out of view again. This was a 60 footer, so it took a lot of effort, but with adequate time and motivation, we "friends" moved the boat around the corner by hand, and left some lines hanging in the water to suggest it had gone to the bottom.
The joke was only good for a minute, but we all enjoyed it. No hard cleanup, no adverse consequences on the boat.
