Handling Wind and Waves!

With George and Barbara Gronseth

We've all heard about people who have been caught in the wind; one of the highest profile cases was in 2015:

CNN Money Dec. 8 2015

"After 'cheating death' so many times on perilous climbing expeditions to some of the planet's most remote places, Tompkins was enjoying a kayak camping trip with friends," when the accident occurred, the trust said in a statement. CNN Money Dec. 8 2015

Doug Tompkins, outsdoorman, conservationist and co-founder of The North Face died of hypothermia in gale force winds on a General Carrera Lake in Chile.
