Wing Rescue Technique

It had been requested that I post up a how-to for rescuing runaway wings. I've successfully done it at least once so I guess it makes me an internet expert on the topic. Please feel free to add any methods or insights to this thread. The following is what seemed to work for me the other day...

Marine Synopsis

Currently, a broad area of high pressure over the NE PAC exists along with a surface thermal trough extending northward along the West Coast. This has lead to light offshore flow recently however, a flow reversal is in store. Onshore flow looks to return on Tuesday as a frontal system draws near. With it, small craft winds are possible for the coastal waters Tuesday evening into Wednesday. The latest NBM and HREF probabilities suggest a 50-100% chance of sustained winds exceeding 21 kt. The highest probabilities are for the outer coastal waters. Wave heights with this system will increase to 8-11 ft around this time with the largest waves over the outer coastal waters. Seas will subside Wednesday afternoon to 5-7 ft and will continue decreasing into Friday to 3-5 ft. Additional systems may move over the waters late in the week. However, the latest guidance suggests marine impacts will be minimal at this time. McMillian (Issued: 251 PM PDT Mon Oct 6 2025 by NOAA)

In case anyone is wondering about the sailing log stats above and why the numbers are different compared to the sailing logs: these count "local" logs only, so Secret Spots aren't included. It also counts #Days and not #Sessions. I could change it but I thought it would encourage people to stop using fake names if a site is in the list.
