Forecast and reality were waaaay different tonight. Forecast was 10-12 knots from the north. Reality was about 14 from the west. It wasn't obvious that it was that windy so we went out with no reef in the main. We hit, and sustained 6.7 knots on the gps a couple of times, on a beam reach. Found somewhat of a lee behind a point and managed to reef the main. Even then we were sustaining over 6 knots for most of the evening. Wheee.
