I attempted to go out in the little Boston Whaler to help but
quickly determined that I'd probably just add to the problem as another
possible casualty due to the sea state we've had up here for the past few
days. (3-5 footers in close chop).


According to Chuck, those don't exist in the North Atlantic. And we
wouldn't be able to properly judge sea state anyway because "most" of
us are bozos with no experience in judging wave action. :)

Only the Manly Men of the Great Pacific North West can properly judge
sea states. :)



According to Chuck the folks in the other thread were unlikely to have
actually encountered SEVEN foot waves on a day when conditions were
reported to have winds of about 15 knots. Once again there is a hell
of a difference between 3 footers, 5 footers, and SEVEN footers
