- this is a manual log and the times and distance are way off
- wind was brisk 
- incoming tide
- electric 2.5 HP equivalent outboard for propulsion
- heading into the wind on the way out
- had to create this log manually because my iPhone went into the drink during a panicky moment - lost the SailTies record on the phone so the track and times and distance are not very accurate
- fortunately it was a 7 year old phone that I intended to replace within days
- did not manage to get all the way out because the wind and tide were against me and the electric outboard ran out of power.  I had to turn back - I lost the phone while raising the sails in a panic
- I was solo and had to keep heading into the wind while raising the sails so used the rudder clutch
- the channel is very narrow so not a lot of room for error
- got it done and survived (sans phone - I have a shiny new iPhone 15 now)
- on my next attempt I will motor out with the tide and sail back in
- note: you cannot sail out because the wind is almost always blowing into the inlet and the channel is very narrow so you cannot tack
