Proof

That I didn't wimp out of going sailing lightly. Apparently it was blowing up to gale force 8 (Moderately high waves with breaking crests forming spindrift. Well-marked streaks of foam are blown along wind direction. Considerable airborne spray) and with the hail as well, it was like standing in a wind tunnel while someone threw handfuls of gravel at your face. Quite disappointing to get back to denbigh and find that it's only a force one a drizzling lightly.
