Great report -- thanks for the insight!

When we're in a monohull (which is always), I try to resist the temptation to motor with the sails down in places where an engine failure would put us in immediate jeopardy. I sometimes fail to follow that policy when passing Colquhoun Reef at the entrance to the North Sound. Maybe I should get a bit stricter with myself.
