I would *not* want to be out on any of those photos except for the
sunset. Those conditions is what I would consider nightmare
conditions!

The pictures on that link were probably taken in the winter, and definitely
on a hard ebb tide, the worst time to cross the bar (that applies here and
SF).


Thanks for the link to Arima. Never heard of them but their hard top
19 is definitely something in the lines of what I'm looking for. Much
thanks!

There are a lot of Arima boats around up here, and I've also seen quite a
few
advertised in Northern California in www.boattraderonline.com.

Good luck!
