Winds started out around ten to fifteen when we went out around noon. They kept getting stronger and were in the twenty five range with at least one gust higher than that. We finally pushed our luck to hard and around three thirty we had the mast in the water. No harm and no foul. Lost one pack of cigarettes and four rum and cokes. Pumped the water out of the cabin and went back to the dock under motor power.........and still drinking. :) Rummy Rummy In a message dated 11/8/2013 2:57:59 P.M.
