Favorite Tabor Boy moment

Short tacking thru the very narrow Current Cut, between St Thomas and Great St. James island.
I was stunned that the ship could head-reach straight upwind so far during a tack and then effortlessly pay off on the new tack. No schooner I have sailed before or since could even come close to making that maneuver.
