New guy on first trip... stressful

[okievet]

Hey all,

On our first trip, and as my luck would have it there is a wind advisory and 25-35 with 50mph gusts are nailing us broadside. Can't really do anything but stay inside and hope we don't tip. Hopefully our next trip won't be so stressful!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading around this forum!

Rocking and a Rollin is no fun, but think about what a tent would be like!!! A tip: Noah app on phone will help you plan better in the future.

NOAA app?

NOAA app?

Weather app, I use noaa, learned to trust noaa reports, and maps while on the boat.

I knew before looking you must be in the mid-west! Go slow and pull over if it gets too sketch and get there safe. Enjoy……oh, Welcome Aboard!

In addition to pulling over if it gets too windy, some of our friends have actually parked so they were facing into the wind and put the jacks down for extra stability.
