The winds on Winter Harbor yesterday weren't all that bad; plus, modern small sailboats have flotation to keep them from sinking out of sight.

Between the markers, the entrance to Winter Harbor is only about 20' deep: at Ice-Out, you can see features on the bottom. BUT...Winter Harbor's entrance gets a full-blast of whatever's on the Broads.

In the middle of Winter Harbor, I did see a ~20-foot sailboat—yellow and white—that should have turned back.
