Too Much Wind

I tried out a smaller "radial" sail today. Not... With gusts to 30 mph, it was a horrible day to try something new. The sail didn't fit my mast and boom properly so it sent Somer and I sailing around crazily.

After contemplating having Somer jump out and swim us back to shore, I came to terms with the wind direction and sailed us to shore.

We swapped out the sails with my trusty massive sail and plowed headstrong into the wind. Too gusty...Almost out of control... We were planing on the tack in. But the wind was just too strong and made us shut down our hopes of sailing to Waimea via Sea Peace. It will happen in the future...
