I'll never forget that. Guy and his kid in older kayak when strong wind came up. A big wave landed square in the cockpit and that thing sank in one second. Guy got tangled in anchor rope and wind was blowing kayak over top of him (a few inches of bow remained above water). I really think two or three minutes more and he would have been a goner. Mojo saved the kid while I untangle the old guy. This experience has made me more cautious when the wind blows.
I agree that pontoons handle wind waves better than other small craft, and I too have both rowed and motored at full speed to get back to shore.
Henry's is fun cause it sits on the Continental Divide and one minute its blasting from the east, then the west, then the north. Crazy. At least on Strawberry the wind is generally from a consistent direction.
