Hi All....
Looking for some input as to wheather I'm as crazy as some say I am.
I currently have a 1995 20' Sea Ray and I'm thinking of going out 25-30 miles off the coast to where the whale watching and deep sea fishing boats go, an area called Jefferys' Ledge.
I fully intend to check the weather and not planning on going out if there is an inclination of bad weather. There was/is a lot of concern by others that the waters too rough for the boat, but I've been on some of the larger lakes where the water WAS very rough, 2-3 foot waves and couldn't do more than 5-10 knots without pounding the boat and shaking your teeth loose. Usually even with 2-3-4 ft swells on the ocean there is distance between each one so that your going in and out of them instead of slamming down onto them.
We've been on the ocean before and often, just not out that far as the wife like to keep land in sight. But I know that both the wife and daughter would be thrilled to see a whale, and maybe catch some 'real' fish.
So...am I crazy?
