So, stranger, why don't you give us the benefit of your experience?

What do you sail, and do you find F5 to be challenging?

"The sea was angry that day, my friend. Like an old man trying to send back soup at the
deli."

p.s. I thought I was stirring the pot for Donal and RB, and while Ganz's link was fun, it
didn't contradict anything Donal or I was saying.

"By the way, Donal," an internet opera, in which Boobs and Jeff battle
to show who knows less about sailing. Donal, the namesake of the
thread, sits calmly by, stirring the pot ever so gently as he holds his
nose and grins. T J Fletchen takes notes. Jonathan slyly slips in
proof that neither Jeff nor Boobs has any conception of wind force or
sea state. O'le Thom congratulates Jonathan on his double kill. Both
Jeff and Boobs crab sideways, exiting stage left.

Force 9 conditions is more properly called a gale or strong gale. Most
"sailors" consider anything about force 6 to be somewhat challenging.
This past
sunday we sailed in Force 7 and maybe Force 8 for a bit.
More than you could handle. But I suppose you call anything above
force 5 heavy
air right up to force 12!!

But I'm sure you can quickly conjure up a story of how you were in
this storm
or that! And some folks here will believe you!

Bwahahahha!
