Reply to: Sailing above your skillset

[quote=turbohobo]word turtlecat, except in my case it was[b]terror[/b]. decided to go for a quick sail over at the little pond we have here on Friday, did not check the weather in my excitement of having some [b]wind[/b]. Just got the sail up and a awesome electrical storm blew in, wind switched from off-shore to on-shore, picked up real strong to about 20 mph, and I'm stuck holding the bridle wires trying to keep the cat faced into the wind. I'm chest deep in water, I cant reach the main halyard to drop the sail and everytime lightning hit close by, I was getting zapped by electrical discharge holding onto those bridal wires. and boy, was that lightning hitting close. Finally walked the cat away from the concrete ramp, backed the cat onto somewhat of a "beach", dropped the mainsail and ran for my truck, pure terror. Won't do that again> :-( [/quote]
