batten down the hatches and let's go boating!
I've done a lot of sixes and sevens, and a few twelves that scared the crap out of me but our Bertram did fine in it, though it did put its gunnel in the water a few times. Pulled that fool maneuver off Twin Lights at the top of NJ. Problem is when you take a liveaboard boat offshore, all kinds of stuff comes flying loose, no matter how well you stow.
No big boat now, just a little sixteen footer I want to convert from gas to electric.
But I still read the marine forecasts. Eighteen footers tonight? better you than me, pull the covers up.
have a great day.
