If the forecast is questionable, or any chance of afternoon wind - don't screw around, it's just not worth it.
Our boat is an pretty much a tank, and I've come back at 6 knots and been flat out scared more than a few times.
Just be careful.

Well said Jay !
2003 I was fishing Race Point in my Parker during july commercial bass season. About 11:00 am it started kicking up and all the boats around me had headed in, I stayed a while longer.
Needing gas I went in to Ptown to fuel up.
After fueling up I headed back of the harbor and it REALLY had kicked up !!!
The ride from Ptown harbor is one I'll never forget !!!
Took 5 hrs to get across to Plymouth going 6-7 kts taking constant waves over the roof of my pilot house.
