[quote=sailinagin]Went out yesterday and sailed in the remnants of TD Lee. Wind, 20-30 with Gusts at 35+. The lake is shallow so a lot of 3' - 4' white caps about 6' apart. Spent a lot of time with my eyes closed because of severe spray - even with my solid tramp. Need to get some goggles. My son and I made a 400# crew, never went over, but since that was the first time out for me in those conditions, I was not pushing the limits. Not interested in going over in that kind of chop. We attempted a tack back into the beach area and I was unable to get the boat turned. Furled the jib and tried to turn into the wind-unseccesful. Attempted to manually pull the main through the wind and gybe around - only to catch wind and take off like a rocket. Ended up with a tow in. Got more to learn about sailing in these conditions. Ripped the jib in a couple spots.[/quote]
