Here's a couple of shots without the zoom

And a couple more for jhr /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Personally, I think the sea state looks worse zoomed.

Enjoy /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Hmm - not fair - I tried to have fun in the waves ... but the tender outboard coughed and spluttered until I got into shallower/smoother water ... didn't even get SWMBO wet! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[jhr]

Excellent! Thanks. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Great pictures. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Going out in rough weather can be great fun. I love it. But it's only ok if not actually going any where, less of course going down wind. Thing is, if playing, you just pick the direction thats fun. Then sort of weave about a bit to get back.

"Gin Palaces" tend to be going some where, maybe 50 miles or more. Solent excepted. Where they never get further than the Folly!!

Trouble is on longish trips, is not the sea, but collateral damage thats the problem.

Anyway, take no notice of the whingers. Nice to see some one trying.

Great PICs w0tty! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Sea looks fun, short sharp waves, not bad though, more of a wind against tide type of senario, and no breakers. Looks quite safe imho! Enjoy. Thanks for pics II.

No good can come of this dangerous undisciplined nonsense. Compulsory licensing required rather than the Frontal Lobotomy which seems to have been the case with this irresponsible rich boat owning type here.


Love the boat name!

Notice the Yot in the background of the second pic ..... is one of their crew members actually walking on water in a god like manner /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif or is he wakeboarding ?? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

 

[fireball]

He's calming the waves .... the crew woke him up because they were frightened ...
Some call him Skipper ... but we know he's JC! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

1. "That" is just choppey - I don't see a 3m swell with 3m waves on top
2. The boat is a sports cruiser
(admittedly not ideal comfort in that chop but OK safety wise)

I think Colin may have his tongue just a little wedged into his cheek.

Colin: if not, here's my masterly-worded explanation of why w0tty is as safe as houses in his fine craft. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
