Actually, I've done that several times, even in the bay. It can get pretty
rough.
Certainly off the coast also.

So, when you go forward you crawl on your hands and knees? You really need

Lifelines are very useful and important:
1) Working forward, stay low and they can and will catch you
2) If you take a fall from anywhere, accept over them, they can and will
catch you
