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?

Thanks.

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 !!!

Keep it up. Thanks for the awesome photos!

Did you come up with this thought or is it from somwhere else? I think its very accurate and hits home! Thanks! Great job
