Time to put in a reef or two and have a blast thanks to Hurricane Noel coming up the coast this weekend for those on the Chesapeake Bay Cheers Winds are supposed to be 20 to 30 knots with gusts to 35 on Saturday.

Sounds like fun Frustrating No not really if it hits us, keeping fingers crossed it goes way east and north and dies out

Our last week with the boat in the water was that kind of winds. Our last sail was 1/3 headsail only for most of the ride. It mellowed to low 20s as we came back so we added more and more. Of course it bounced back up to 35kts when it was time to roll up the sail. Frustrating

Now I know I can get her furled at 35 kts... but anything more and I'll need to crank and tail on the winch.

Still, an excellent ride if you're not overpowered.
