Willard can get quite rough in hurry, I've been caught out up there a couple of times. Several years ago a storm blew up so bad I had spray up over my bimini. I saw a small boat heading back toward the south marina with two people aboard into the 2-3' wind waves. I knew they were going to get pretty soaked, but didn't realize the danger they were in.
When I got back to the north marina a couple of Parks guy were about to launch their boat. They said a small boat had capsized and two people were in the water. I found out later that the two were a grandad and his grandson. I remember that the grandson had his cell phone in a plastic zip lock, so was able to dial 911. I shudder to think how narrow their escape was.

Single main, no kicker.
