One
thing that's good to know is how to heave-to. You basically set the
headsail on an opposing tack and lash the tiller hard to windward, and
the boat *should* just sort of hang right there.

Learned that one the next year. :-)

Ours was shoal draft, swing board. It would be at near knock-down in the
conditions that day, I'll bet.

Dragging warfs might have worked that day.
