Sorry if I sounded pedantic, Marty. I didn't mean to preach. The
oceans are a big place and weather is local and I haven't seen even a
tiny bit of what there is to see. Still, I quibble a bit with the
idea that the oceans will only __occasionally__ dish up nasty square
waves. If the waves are new (ie. you're close to a compact wx system)
or running against current they can get nasty and that, IM (limited)
E, is a common enough thing. YMMV.

Tom, no problem I won't argue at all, my ocean experience is extremely
limited.

Without doubt every large body of water has many different things to
throw at us; but that's a big part of what makes sailing so attractive
to me, no matter how many times I go out, it's always different!
