Went to Angel Island again last weekend. Forecast was 15-25kn along with a small craft advisory. Didn't think too much about it since we had the jib #3 set up that goes up to 35kn. Sailing was initially slow but the wind picked up after noon. Picture below is from the earlier where it was more like 5-10kn blowing. But after the Bay Bridge! White caps everywhere and a big swell, aggravated by 3 kn ebb running against the wind. Soon enough the wind was up to 25kn, then, 30, then even 35kn sustained! Huge steep waves building, and what started as a leisure cruise became pretty exciting! Luckily nothing broke and we tucked into Ayala Cove completely drenched and exhausted.
