I have never experienced swells over 15', I imagine swells bigger than that with a chop on top would be quite exiting

you're right, we should get back to oysters on the smoker, you try that?assateague wrote:TK's gonna come in here raging when he sees what happened to his haiku thread. Waves and gay cannibals and shit.

I have been more comfortable in a small boat running big waves than in some 30+ footers where you are much more at the mercy of the elements. The barge has seen some rough seas, it hurts your kidneys in that bitch
Surfing waves in a boat sounds like a blast, providing the water isn't too cold. If I had waves like that on the small waters here, I'd do just for fun. I'd still be more comfortable in big waves like that in the big boat though.

I would have made it, I was surfing the waves so to speak and choosing my time to cross the crests but was taking on water from the spray of the white wash I was dodging, I pulled the plug to let the water run out and when crossing a wave lost my balance and dropped he plug overboard. This little incident broke my concentration enough to screw up just enough to put the bow into a wave a little too steep and we were done, from a fairly dry boat to the gas tank floating away boat under water in about two seconds lolWillie wrote:jehler wrote:ive been on Lake Michigan in honest 8'ers in a 12' boat.

Reality they are 3
Great Lakes are epic

I've been in 15 footers in the gulf in my boat and it didn't have much chop just big swells. It wasn't much of a wash at all. Been in some 20+ footers in the north atlantic that had some serious wash too it. If it wasn't for the shear size of the ship we'd went down for sure.

Actually it's not the height of the waves, it's the distance between them. 20' seas every 12 seconds is much more comfortable than 4' - 6' waves every 4 seconds causing a "confused" sea.....that will kick your ass.
