Living Up to Her Name

Dangerous lived up to her name in her first SMSA Wednesday night effort. Despite the heavy-ish conditions we sailed under a heavy #1 and full main. A mix of green and expereinced crew, but no one who had worked together before. It quickly became apparent that we didn't have the weight on board or the crew experience to make that combo work. After a couple crash tacks and some mild chaos we decided to try and put in a reef. The crew assigned to that task had a difficult time, and during that process Dewey pulled the plug and retired before the start. The boat is a real handful in a blow and getting the crew up to the task will be an interesting challenge to work through this season.
