Yes,

We had 11 fters for 4-5 days out of the NE. Again it's hard to
determine wave height from video's but thats what they were. They were
spaced a good 100 ft, it's not like they were splashing over the
wheelhouse, more like a slow rise and fall, a nice ride infact.

Joe,

I think I understand your plight in that you constantly overestimate wave
size.

It's because all your adult life you've been telling Terry this:

----------------------- is six inches.


Bwahahhahahahahahhahaha.

Those aren't waves, more like just a bit of "chop"... If you want to see
REAL Waves, come on up to the North Pacific, during Crab Season, in the
winter.... them is REAL WAVES... they Start at 20 ft and go on up to 40
- 60 Ft, and start with 50 Kt breezes and on up to 120 Kt Gales....
You know your in one when the Snow is blowing UP, and the Engine Governor
is trying to keep up with the Prop, coming out of the water, as each
wave passes.... You fair weather mariners are a hoot to read......
