Challenge: What Would You Do?
You are sailing 100 miles east of a coastline when you find yourself in an easterly storm. The weather is severe with a wind of 60 knots, gusts reaching 80. Waves are around 20 feet, some even reaching 30 and breaking. There is no marina or safe anchorage within reasonable distance. Nothing that has happened up until this point is relevant. What would you do?
