All that cold weather
oh id beg to differ!
sailors like stable wind that arent to strong,
high winds are a nightmare
theyre blustery and directions changing
your constantly having the adjust your sails
as winds pick up you "reef" your sails
that is, you drop them partially
they have cords sewed to them to tie that portion to the boom so you have less sq. footage that the wind can affect
some boats carry multiple sails for each location
small medium and large effectively
each for differing wind conditions
not to mention the swells rise up significantly as the wind get raging

All that cold weather
i recall several occasions
accompanioning a boat owner out of the harbor
tough conditions,
but they wanted to try all the same
ventura
you have to beat straight into the wind most often
if you take the short way out of the break waters
then your motors running
as you beat up and down the swells
your propeller out of the water half of the time
in a small boat
your then faced with having to turn 180 and run back in
your a fool for ever getting out here
and you wait for a longest break in the swells to make the turn
invariably
your on the highside bank of a swell as you come about
quite bracing!
oh the stories i could tell...
