My first accident

Made it four months! Walking up to the island it is lined with boards so the motors can transport to and from the boat. Of course the boards aren't secured in any way so as the person in front of me steps on, it pops up just enough for me to ran my right big door directly into it. Of course I don't have a first aid kit and I'm not looking until I get to the top of the hill. I finally get to stop, there is blood everywhere and my toe is pulsating, ahhhhhh! Just kidding only a little blood, but I did manage to split my toenail clear off at the halfway mark. I'm managing to get bandaged up and I look like I have a gout and I'm thanking my lucky stars for the clean break. This should heal nicely. Just to cheer up my day, on of the other guys who was with me when it happened says "you know how hard you've travelled by how many toenails you have" I quickly reach for my Swiss Army knife and try prying off more toenails...I guess nine and a half will do.

Fun Fact: it takes about six months for a nail to grow back
