I took one there almost in the same area last year. Scared the crap out of me.

I think at some point everyone who owns a cuddy has had that happen. The slow motion shovel in, toss it up, come down on the windshield and go back up and finally land on top of the crew. CLASSIC!

There is that certain chop that makes the stern rise and the bow dip right into the belly of the oncoming wave. You learn not to go head in at idle speed. Gotta goose it and get the bow up. And never anchor in that. You have to get your fat butt on the bow and make it worse!

My crew knows its coming when I say "Shiiip!"
