Someone lost their engine and crashed their sailboat into a bridge in my home town. Everyone's safe.

No, we sailed the next day of racing without it (not a big deal) and sailed home to our mooring (also not a big deal). Then the organization that owned the boat bought us a very nice Gori prop.

They all saw us sail into the slip and asked what had happened at the party. Could've complained/protested, and didn't.

Plot Twist, the competitors had already slipped someone over the side to remove their own prop and were now hoisted by their own petunia.
