Operator stated that the wind speed increased to over 25 mph rapidly and wave height increased to 3 feet.  Operator stated she reefed the sail two reefs to compensate for the wind however, it began pushing toward the rock bluffs in the area between eagles roost and the grottos.  Operator dropped her sail and attempted to use the outboard motor attached to her vessel to maneuver away from the bluff .  The motor was not powerful enough to overcome the wind and waves.
