If I see... lets say a 30-40 ft roller and I know I'm going to plunge
thru it, I will duck.


You better.


I will. But I doubt I will ever plunge thru a 40 fter, RedCloud would
power over it.
But hey, never say never. Terry was on a 80ft gulf shrimper that got
caught in 60 ft sea's in the Gulf, they rode it out on the hook, busted
out all the wheelhouse windows, several 1000 gallons or sea water went
in the bilge, but it was a stout well kept and outfitted steell hull,
and she managed to ride it out. It was a roller that got them, and
being on anchor pulled the bow down and thru the wave.

Whats the best course thru towering waves with short waves lengths
