1 day
Type of watercraft:

Went out on the Olson with some friends intending to make it to the gas docks and back. Got the main up, the motor stowed, and put in a reef, and realized we couldn't tack through the 18kt steady wind blowing directly through the mouth of the West Basin. Would've been a fun day, but the whitecaps on the Patuxent looked vicious and we didn't want to risk the boat and the green crew.
