Interesting what some folks think is a good idea or maybe just a lack of thinking.

That wave was pretty gnarly and about to break over the bow. I don’t have enough experience to have handled it any better other than I would’ve never been in that situation to begin with. What do the ol’ salts have to say about it?

My guess is he couldn't see the third set out, might have reconsidered if he could have. In any event, he had some gonads going out with those breakers.

Jupiter I hope you don't mind I added this one in here I think it goes along with the theme. A friend sent this I don't have the full story but I think it's near Inn at Grand Glaize looks like she was going down and they were throwing stuff on the dock.

My first thought was how this guy might could have benefited from a driving course on Mead.
Maybe a side business for ocean and his buddies Silentjoe and 700concrete.
