Default What are you going to do?

Joe,

Neal has made that statement about waves before and as usual he's full
of S--t. His whole scenario is riddled with wrong stupid assumption. The
first and dumbest is comparing a displacement hull with a Surf board.
Can anyone that has ever been in a Sea way ever tried to control a
displacement hull in near free fall on the face of a wave with a rudder?
A wave that large creates a sucking action into the wave. Something he
is ignoring or is completely unaware of. He assumes his hull would be on
a level plane like a surf board when in reality it would be heeled
badly. Badly enough that you'd could only hang on. You wouldn't be able
to move.

When he make statements like that, it is because he is speaking through
a "Sock-puppet" but I've read his mentality on waves before and it is
DAMN STUPID AND DANGEROUS!! His "Cut the Mustard" carries a broken
Boom, Which according to him, happened in a wave entering a channel.

DON"T LISTEN TO HIM! I don't think he has ever Battened Down and had
the let the Vessel take care of him and itself. He just doesn't know.
