At 180 lbs dry it did take a bit of a hike to get the bot verticle again. Without getting the bow pointed into the wind, I could not right the boat without dropping the main.



I was wondering if a drogue set off the bow would help in this situation.



BTW The search and rescue were there and stood by after I told them I was OK and had things under control. I sure they had a nice laugh when I got the boat righted with me hanging under the tramp. Also a side note, the attractive female refused to go out in these conditions and did have a Corona waiting for me dockside. Life is still good!
