Bright sunny day on the York. Temp ~70. Wind was 15-20 from the East which means big waves.
Even with working jib and reefed main I had my hands full. I hit 7.2 knots surfing down a wave- not bad for a Cape Dory Typhoon !
On the way into the harbor, I tried to help a 35 foot sailboat that had run aground on a falling tide after its engine failed. Needless to say, my 3 hp electric motor was not up to the task.
