I use a drift sock in the wind to keep from going too fast and man does it work!!!! You only hope that the wind is blowing in the direction you want to go due to the boat being "less than responsive" trying to change course fighting the drift sock drag!!!! I know that I pilots are the weapon of choice....but I wasn't about to drop a grand on a trolling motor!!!!
