And take a moment and look at tmy moments smudge..scary yes dangerous no..risk flipping or capsize no...and if did over equipped.. All on days with no break over the bar 1m and less swell and winds tides correct... and only one incident was mine. In fact all are no more an incidents that many take as normal, when crossing. Who 'normally' cross in conditions I dont go.....including yours. So if quote my scarry moments, do not take out of context or make out something that is not.
I report these to point out in real life, even on flat days things can happen...and do, so be prepared treat the sea with lot respect. abseiling in jandals! Put away the browns .. |
