How would you like to be boating in this weather?

Gimmme more ......... I personally have no fear of the sea
but Total Respeck :grin:

Great clip, especially 2:04 mins into the video .... three guys on

Hmmmmm.....

Thanks, No. I boat to relax and have fun. This appears to be neither. I am reminded of CJ Martin's post last summer about the Volvo Ocean Series competitor who went overboard and died of hypothermia. I have an advanced degree in misery courtesy of the Army. I desire no additional practice.

I'll stick to burning diesel on the comparatively calm Potomac and Chesapeake.

I have been in the North Atlantic on a 553' vessel before and tossed like a toy. Nothing like seeing a 1000' Carrier's bow come out of the water...Like Skip said, once is enough...ha ha. :lol:

I have an uncanny attraction to the rough stuff :smt017 ... a bit
like the storm chasers you have in the US ...... but my heart goes
out to those in Lake County right now

Pretty amazing footage. Can you imagine the forces on the standing riggging of those boats?
