Absolutely well told story that is oh so familiar to me.happened the other day again to me just like he described happened to him.rigged 4.0 stumbled over rocky launch wind gusting rig all over the place air 37 deg water about the same first run wind ramps up to 3.3 conditions lake effect snow squalls looming in the close distance survived a hour or so and called it a day when lake effect made it like night at noon.aslo sailing in ship channel swell zone where 1000 ft lake freighters come to shipyard makes it spooky with low visibility lived to sail another day.
