Two seasons ago, coming out of the Patuxent River in Yo Ho, a 25-footer
with a huge bow. built like a battleship, and heavy as one, I ran into
five footers on the Bay. Real five footers, close and breaking. After 15
minutes of attempting to slog north for my home port, I made a wise
captain's decision, turned around, and headed back for the Pax River.


I've done the same thing with both the Navigator and the Egg Harbor, usually
at the request by, or my observation of a passenger. Both boats will handle
5 foot seas ok, but for some it's not an enjoyable experience. The two
years that I was into fishing, we used to take the Egg out on trips in
fairly rough conditions and although the boat was capable of over 30 kts, we
often returned at far less than cruising speed with a few green passengers.

My only personal experience with a case of severe sea sickness was on a 38
foot Hatteras.
