You take down all the canvas and ride it out. It's the ones that are near land that scare the ever lovin crap out of you. Sailing on on 18' sloop on Pueblo Resivor in Colorado some years ago. A mountain storm same up behind up rain and high gusty winds. We did not have time to take down the sails (main and jib) before the wind hit. All of a sudden we were up on a plane headed for the dam at the end of the resivoir. With the wind howling at 30-40 knots and the dam coming up only 50 yds away or so, what to do? Off to the north aside of the dam there was a small slice of beach so I headed for that, Mike was hiking halfway out of the boat, trying to keep it from going over. As we got closer to the beach I could see it was covered with rocks....not good for the hull if i ran up on it. I yelled at Mike I was going to come around into the wind.. Letting out all the sail I brought the boat around as pretty as you please and mike stepped out into about 3 feet of water. We pulled down the sails and found a sandy spot on the beach for the boat. The storm blew over within a short time as most mountains storms do and we continued with a lovely sail. |
