Probably not...there was sometimes just a heck of a lot more of them in a row, for much greater distances, when racing truly "Offshore". :-)
Of course in reality, the "waves" everyone discusses here aren't really "WAVES"....

Absolutely no disrespect to the many people here with much more experience than myself, but I gotta think that the men on those ships would come to a site like this and just laugh their azzes off. There are big seas and then there are angry seas, huh?

The Sutphan (TKO) was on cruise control all day. Love that boat.
The course boats deserve the BIG kudas for enduring 4hrs on the hook in those seas.....That took some serious dedication !!!

Awesome shots!!! You go, guys.
Don't fret too much about "back then." There are those of us who write the future and then there are those who write history books; they are the same people who just simply don't know how to cope with the expiration of their relevance and they are sadly relegated to languishing in the dismal past.
Keep it up. Thanks for the awesome photos!
