Thanks. I am moving more slowly today. Other than a couple red bumps on my head and a sore chest and a major case of embarrassment I am OK. I can breath ok so I don't think I broke any ribs. It happens fast. I had something on the gunnel that I didn't want to knock over and I put my shoe on the outer part of the gunnel, I looked down and my shoe slipped off the edge of the boat when I was getting off the latter, the next thing you know you are on the ground with the latter on top of you. It must have looked ridiculous.
When I was laying on the ground I was thinking about my cousin who fell off one of his commercial boats a couple years ago while on the hard and landed right on his ass...he now has a titanium rod in his spine and chronic back issues. I am glad it was not too big a deal for me.
I feel like an idiot and was not even going to mention it but figured someone else might think twice when they are hiking up the latter to their boat the next wet morning.
