Type of watercraft:

Got warmed up w/Richard and Karen at noon for an hour and then got dropped at the T-head and rigged #5 to take James on an almost bridge run. Finished up around 4:30. Much gustier than I expected, we did reef but it wouldn't hold so trim was super shitty. Have never felt so underpowered on the main, and had significant leehelm which felt weird. Considered dropping main and trying to tie ot out of the way but had to point as high as possible to make it back with the wind coming practically straight from the west. (WSWish) mid 50 degrees F, mostly sunny, 10-15knts but quite gusty.
