Interesting how the sea state looking ahead in the video didn't look 'too bad', but then turning round it was a different story (I've never been out in those conditions by the way - yet!)

It is incredibly difficult to film a rough sea from a small boat - it never looks so bad through a camera lens!

At least they are long waves.....you wouldn't be able to film that in the bristol channel.
