I run our from the South river in a 31' and its fine. Anything over 30' is just my opinion. South of the bay bridge the chop changes sometimes right at the bridge. I never really understood it, but its how it is. I've been out in some pretty nasty stuff. I try to avoid the real bad days, but sometimes it hits and you don't know its coming. I know a couple occasions that were supposed to be no more than 2' chop, but coming back weather changed and it was a lot more.

Was checking out your Bullet on Friday went i went to see Dave, really like the paint job on your boat, the metal flake is really cool in the cig logo.. Sometimes it doesn't matter how big your boat is its never big enough, i had a 41' crist craft, went to Baltimore with my dad and brother one weekend, hit a storm on the way back to my marina, Mears point at red eyes, it was so bad the waves picked up that big girl and turned it 180 degrees in an second, my yells what are you doing your going the wrong way, i said i didnt touch the wheel, after that he started throwing life jackets to everyone.
The Bay is no joke.....I have been all over the Caribbean through some rough weather..and the Chesapeake or worse yet the Delaware Bay will prove your skills when the weather turns.
On a brighter note....heading out all day tomorrow.

I may be able to hit Lowe's Wharf on Sunday, but thats the furthest i can run. Have the kids football all Saturday Morning so Sunday is a better day for me to make the journey. Not sure what Badmonkey is up to, he likes to stretch the legs on his Formula alot..
