This is a clip from the other day, Munroe and myself went out in perfect conditions at around 5:30pm. At about 7:30pm the wind changed, within 15min turned 180 degrees temp dropped and we made the call to head in
This is Vikodins account of the day at a different location with a much more dramatic outcome with the loss of some gear.

Good call Kelly. That was quite a marathon workout the last 20 minutes or so.
Good video to show how quickly the bay can chop up.

Pt Henry don't remind me Not there! but as a little taste before the video is uploaded and report written this screen shot might give you an idea of what i went through. Mind you I was half way between Clifton Springs and Point Wilson at the time the wind changed.
