I really loved this story — not because of the chaos, but because it’s such a good reminder that even the best-prepared sailors get thrown curveballs. During my ASA 101 Basic Keelboat course we ran into a nasty squall. Our instructor stayed calm and was communicating that everything was fine (we were thrown into our first experience reefing!) Once we got the boat to hove to we looked around and just started laughing as we were all soaked from the rain. It was still one of my most fun days on the water to date!
