I also questioned whether a 311' AVP was enough boat for the North

were coming out of the water on every wave for days at a time. "

My dad told me about stuff like that while on a troop transport during WWII

The north Atlantic is actually a fascinating place. Once you get over
the bouncing around part it is really beautiful. The water color is
spectacular. The Atlantic is very blue anyway but when the water is
that cold, it is almost an electric blue. When you put the rollers on
top of that that are stark white it is mesmerizing.

I am not sure it is just the cold temps. When I do long range tuna trips,
when you are out a 100 miles plus, and the temps are 62 or so, the water is
almost purple blue as look in to the water. Maybe lack of lots of
plankton, or different types.

Yup that is the thing I am talking about but with 10 foot waves
capping all over.
