A 20 knot NW breeze and a strong outbound tidal current made exiting the N channel out of Willoughby Bay a little difficult with only my main up. Finally unfurling the genoa partially gave the needed speed to offset drift through the narrow channel. Upwind was slow for a bit after turning west until the tidal current eased. I returned to Willoughby through the western channel after rounding Swells Spit.
