Default First Bit Of Sea

hours. Great going into the wind and waves but a little tricky steering with

Following seas are harder for keeping course. Work much better
with a skeg or rudder down if you have one. If the boat hasn't got
either but will take one or the other, well worth considering.

If you don't have one you'll have to paddle a bit one-sided or lean
the boat, but the latter gets a bit "character building" on bigger
swell and isn't necessarily recommended!
