Bad answer.

Why?
Are you taking away my points?

I would have taken out the reef long ago.


Why? We were CRUISING, not racing. Also we were running w/the wind all
morning so the main wasn't 'doing much'.


Nice boat,


You have good taste sir.

Yup.

If we were all the same or did things the exact same way, the world would be
a very boring place.

The water is flat. The wind had died long ago. You were sailing in
dead air for a long time with a reefed main.

You have no concept of how the rig works.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

You mean when the wind falls of, sea state stays the same for a long while???
Never saw that! Wind dies, sea follows quite quickly.

Much as I loath to admit it....Horvath is wrong. Looks like a flukey day and I
don't doubt higher winds occured and returned. If you weren't there, a pic only
tells so much...and Horvath knows so little.
