It was rough coming back last night but the direction was as good as possible. I would NOT want to run into that stuff for 80 miles. Such a great weekend and the Hilton set up was a TEN.

From punching waves.
The 39 top fish and crew got beat up. Windshield cracked and broke the captains arms and gashed his head. He may have broken a rib too. Rear door and seat boat and it held some water apparently.
A 42' fountain cracked its windshield.

Ouch. Having a broken arm or arms, must have made the remainder of the ride home a real pleasure............ Hope the captain is resting, in comfort today.

1.9m-1.7m for 16-14kn wind last I checked. They stacked up pretty high once we got closer to FTL. The only 2' waves would have been right out of the harbor at Bimini. Or 2 footers on top of 4 footers lol. I took it under 30 towards the end and my boat was coming off plane climbing the back of waves.
