45 knot, N/NE winds in the Gulf Stream gets real nasty for small boats.
Not unusual to see the seas 35 ft and bigger around Hatteras and coming from 3 different directions at the same time. Always a fun time.
Small boats, hell... That’s no fun for anybody. :-)
Most of my time was on a 210 in the Gulf of
AK. The words “small craft advisory” still give me the heebee jeebies. :-)
