I'm interested to know if anyone had trouble getting through the Card Sound Bridge with the wind blowing dead on the nose the way it was. I was all lined up to go through, and about30 yds. from the bridge the cleat on my traveller let go, and as I turned around to try to manually close the cleat, the grommet where the sheets attatch to the jib ripped out and my jib went flying like a flag in the wind! I had my crew hang onto the jib, but I could not get across the bridge. I would get right under the bridge, point into the wind, lose power, and then drift right back. It was incredibly frustrating. We finally pulled out there at the little beach next to the bridge. It was very disappointing.

A fun ride when the wind was blowing though.
