Cherri,
On one of my first solo trips it was very windy I got blown downwind against
a rocky lee shore and head to drop sails and wade the boat back to the dock. I didn't
have a motor and was very "green" about sailing upwind and tacking, etc. It was very
humbling and a good
lesson.

Cherri,
Congratulations on your maiden voyage. Your adventure sounded very much
like one of my first trips - improperly secured sails led to my being blown
into a narrow swampy inlet from which I was unable to tack out - a "stink
pot" came to my rescue - the ultimate embarrassment !
There isn't much more that could have gone wrong with your maiden voyage -
so from now on you may certainly anticipate smooth sailing and grand
adventure showing off that beautiful boat.
Had Carol II out today for the first time this season - grand day on Little
Back River and a little nip out into the Chesapeake Bay.
Stan Winarski
M-15, #177, Carol II
