Bob CollinsAccording to the reaction this video is getting, there are a lot of sailing experts on social media with advice to give.
Joaquin Figueroa was on Canal Park when he spotted the sailboat and its crew in distress by the Aerial Lift Bridge on Wednesday.

The boat was part of the Wednesday night sailing races and winds were about 38 mph at the time, KBJR reported.
It’s not a good spot to have a bad sailing moment; there are lots of people with cameras. (language warning)
I've never experienced the wind shift like it just did, and I don't think this guy had either. * Jukin Media Verified *Find this video and others like it by visiting https://www.jukinmedia.com/licensing/view/989511For licensing / permission to use, please email licensing(at)jukinmedia(dot)com.

It was a typical evening on Superior. The temperature dropped quickly and the wind storm came from nowhere, allowing little time to make safe harbor.
Another perspective of the sailboat that slammed into the Lift Bridge today after the temperature and winds shifted quickly this evening.
