It turned way windier than predicted

Type of watercraft:

  • Sailing around Placid Bay

Winter was back for a few days hence I hadn’t had a chance to sail since last week and was chomping at the bit to go out.  My weather app and the Argo app both predicted winds around 6 mph.  Guess what?  They were wrong!  Try winds in the 10-15 mph range.  My sail to Placid Bay was fine but once I rounded the bend it became a bit challenging.  I had the good sense to take the sails down and motor home without incident.
