That's an awesome picture. When I had my 25' John Allmand I was rounding the hook (Sandy Hook Bay) coming in from the ocean up from the Shrewsbury rocks and had to go through conditions very much like that. Another boat and I were side by side about 30 yards apart from each other going in, and we would loose sight of each other when we fell into the troughs. Scared the crap outta me. Made me appreciate how really well made the John Allmands were. As luck would have it, the other boat and I were from the same dock (Leonardo State marina) and when we got to the doc we both just looked at each other and started laughing... mostly from relief that we had made it. I don't think either of us really expected to.
