I have been out sailing the bay the last two days and it has been cranking out there! On Tuesday we saw winds gusting to 35 as we came accross the slot. Yesterday it was even bigger winds and waves. I don't double reef much on our 30' Newport but I did two days in a row and it was the correct call. I had a hanky on the furler jib. The boat handled it fine and we saw lots of 8's and 8.5 knots on the meter. We have not seen that number in a while! It was a great two days of sailing with some long time friends!
