WOW today we had some crazy sailing conditions for race team practice. 5 other girls from my team, my coach, and I went out to practice at Shilshole. The wind was blowing 20-25 mph and we sailed a 29er. There were snow flurries as well as large swells on the sound. We rotated between the 29er and the coachboat. The 29er flipped a few times before we went in. Two of us were wearing drysuits (including me) and we were still cold. Our fingers, faces, and toes were cold even with gloves, boots and hats on. It was crazy but was a great experience. Coming form California I never would have imagined sailing in these conditions, but remember...don't be a fair weather sailor!!!
