The forecast was for gusts up to 20 knots, but the actual wind conditions were quiet steady in the 10-15 knots range. We headed out a bit after 11am, and made it to the bridge with no issue. However, as we re-entered Northwest Harbor, we got hit with the 20-knot gusts that had been predicted. Bhavani was on the helm at the time and panicked, resulting in excessive heel that flooded the cockpit with water. I took over and fought our way back through the gusts to the dock.
