Thanks guys. I'm not blinded to the fact that it can't happen,but i
suppose thats from leading a sheltered life of fresh-water trailer
boating.....

Fresh water boating and salt water boating are two different animals, that's
for sure.
Also, boats that stay in the water (at a slip or mooring) for the entire
season or year-round, particularly in salt water, lead a rough life compared
to a trailered boat that is hauled and kept "dry" most of the time.
