Here is a short but very interesting story and tactic....
"By 3 AM we were seeing a steady 45 - 50 knots of wind with extended
gusts to 65 knots. More problematically, the waves were coming
directly onshore and were building rapidly. By 4 AM breaking waves
were sweeping over all the boats and filling the cockpits with water."
