With a steady southerly breeze blowing at 15-20 knots, we decided to give it a go and take the boat out for a spin. But with more wind comes a faster boat, and faster boat means quicker decisions—something that doesn't come as easily to me at 65 as it once did! So, after some thought, we decided to play it safe, head back in, and watch the action from the comfort of the powerboat. At least we managed to stay dry!
