My annual injury!

Just over a year ago I torn a tendon off my elbow at work and missed the best sailing time of the year! Last week I had a tussle with a shovel and now my Gath hat won't fit! This time next year I am going to be REALLY careful!

you should have posted a warning re gore, that's a ripper!

You sound like me
I fractured my elbow on the 4th dec last year pretty much missed all of last years season

Then in march sailing wedge I smash the top of my shoulder nothing broken but out for another month

Then this year on the 1st sep 4weeks before gnaraloo I ripped my ac joint apart and hopefully back on the water on 5 th de****hat's nearly 5 1/2 months in a year off the water and 4 1/2 months off work

Bloody stoked I've got income protection

Thank god for that! I read the title wrong there for a bit & thought I had stumbled on some weird fetish site!

Nasty ear gash, although you could let it heal that way & be trendy with those kids & the tarp eyelets in their lobes!

I'll call a spade a spade, cause digging for earwax with a shovel is just plain silly

Sorry couldn't help myself.

PS - If you squint at the screen your ear looks like Admiral Ackbar

so thats why we havnt seen you on the water lately.might want to leave the gath on for your next fight with a shovel.
