Had my V21 out on the northwest coast last summer flat seas for most of it. On the last day we were done fishing and pulling the prawn traps I noticed the black line forming on the horizan. I put the hammer down on her as we had 10 miles to shore the last two got very intresting. with the ocean floor rising from the depths and the wind they were giving me around 6' swells and 6-8' chop. A 60' tour boat came out of the harbour and the waves increassed to 10-12' not a fun time at all. things I learned 1-tie your gear down ( the cooler of sea ice was all over the deck making the boat unstable) 2- trim tabs would have helped level the boat 3- Don't F@#$ around if your not sure what the He!! your doing out there it goes south quick.
