i was a supervisor of a warehouse, storing supplies, junk and pretty much anything, for 3 retirement homes.  

in the warehouse was a beat up old catamaran an admiral had donated to the parent organization.  the catamaran (a hobie type 18 footer) had been long forgotten due to the liability issues that could result from lending it out and neglect.  
occasionally, the admiral would walk over and shoot the breeze with us and to look at his boat.  i made a comment that it would require a lot of restoration before it would be seaworthy again.  you could see the tears well up and i would change the subject, although this time i suggested with his permission if i could put his boat back together again.  that is with his help.  it looked like he had taken a drink from the fountain of youth.  he said he will order some parts and have it shipped to the warehouse.  

a week or so later ups was at the big roll up door with about a dozen boxes.  all from a marine supply company.  i think it would have been cheaper to order a new cat because in the boxes was a new trampoline, sail, tiller hardware, lots of rigging and gallons of epoxy.  oh yeah and a bill of lading saying a new mast was on another truck.  omg

alrighty now fast forward.  the admiral and a bunch of his cronies from the retirement home would come and take over a corner of the warehouse and they would come and go, but in about 5 months it was done.  it wasn't anything remarkable or even sure if it would float but they were so proud.  it was now february in virginia and they all wanted to take it out.  i should have paid more attention when no one wanted to take the maiden trip.  they handed the keys over to me.  i told them that i will take it out to a lake nearby to test if it was seaworthy.  not til after the ice melts.
well, it is now may and i had the cat loaded on to one of our trucks and we took it out to a private lake.  everyone was there except for the admiral.  i had found out that he passed two weeks prior.  it was a somber moment as we carried it to the water almost as if we were pallbearers.
we gently set it down and it floats.  as we were admiring it there a truck pulls up and some guy with patches on his shoulders tells us that we are not members and that we must leave.  boo

here is the peak of fuckups;

it is august and my best friend and i rent a house on cape hatteras.  it is on the sound side and we will trailer the catamaran and test it in the sound.  the house has no clear access to the dock behind the house but there is a landing across the mouth of the cove about 500 yds away.
we drive around and put the cat in the water and it looks beautiful.  my friend will take my truck back and meet me at the dock.  i will sail it across because i have the most sailing experience and i took a life saving class.  hah!  i grab a life vest and throw it onto the trampoline and hoist the sail.  it sails beautifully across the cove and i pull up to the dock.  there is my friend with a sandwich and a bottle of water.  he said that he had unpacked the truck and opened the house up to air out.  he said it look fun coming across the water and said that we should just take it out to the buoy and come back.  he tossed me the water and climbed in.  i drank the water and tossed the bottle into the yard.  i looked and he finished the sandwich.  bh.
what the heck and we pushed away and i tightened the sheet and  we took off.  
the weather was beautiful and a light wind.  the area in front of us was full of windsurfers.  we had to yield to the windsurfers even though they were far more nimble than we were. we finally made it to the buoy.  what a glorious feeling.

we start to head back but now we are further out into the sound and the wind has kicked up.  no problem we think as we will be back that much sooner.

we have to take a different course back and the windsurfers are constantly in our path so we tack and change course and eventually i notice that we are not making headway back in.  we are being blown sideways?  the houses are getting smaller.  we are moving and the sail is full but we are further out now.  i tell my friend that he has to stay on his side of the cat and not to lose track of land.  i will stay on my side of the sail and keep trying to find a course back.  

now somehow he is on my side of the sail and we are arguing.  i pop under and i can not see land or any sign.  the sun is directly overhead.  later after a lot of complaining. me being hungry and him being thirsty we see the silhouette of trees and then a break.  i think we are near the inlet and the tide is going out.  we are moving southerly and are running close to shore and it is now growing dark.  i tell my friend to swim for it.  i'm not going to go because i am a weak swimmer, he is.  he doesn't want to go but he wants to see how deep it is where we are.  i loosen the sail and he dives down.  he says it is about 12 ft. and as he hangs on to the rear of the cat, the front pops up we take off real fast.  he is hanging on half in the water but we are moving away from the inlet but the wind is still keeping us from getting closer to land.  

we are now heading back north but can not see any thing that tells us where we are because it is now dark.  my friend is still hanging in the water because that is the only way we are able to move.  he is looking lethargic but i see a tiny speck of light and i swear i hear music.  i tell my friend that i hear music and i am heading for it and the light.  he yells at me that he opened the windows and turned on the stereo at the house, probably left the lights on too.  

what else can go wrong?  lightning!  a storm is coming in.  then abruptly we hit something. we crash into some pilings by the dock as the rain starts to fall.  my friend is not able to climb up because he has cramped up really horribly.  he is dehydrated and probably has hypothermia.  

i grab my friend and i throw him into the hot tub and some waters while i go tie up the cat.  when i got back outside lighting is striking everywhere and the cat is gone.  

we sit in the hot tub and recover.  we go over a mental checklist.  where did all the windsurfers go?  it was so crowded that we had to make course corrections several times.  we didn't have any running lights but we never saw another ship or boat throughout our trip from hell.  i've never told my friend but i was ready to give it up.  i was prepared to die.  

the next day in the back of the truck were the dagger boards, flashlights, the other life jacket (with a tiny compass attached).  

we reported the missing craft to the coast guard and by the end of the week on the way home stopped to check if anyone reported finding it.  nope.

Tifu by building a catamaran and not paying attention to what I've learned. [Long]
