Yep. While trying to outrun it heading home, I got caught in a severe summer thunderstorm while single handing a 24' sailboat. When it passed I was going in exactly the opposite direction I thought I was headed.
Lessons learned:
- Mount the compass in a better spot.
- Drop the anchor and ride it out.
- As soon as you know you're not going to make it head for the nearest dock.
I was on the Severn River and had plenty of options. It was my first season and I was learning fast!
