Fishpart , we should get your wife out for a sail. She'll love it.
GS , I like cruising. I've never been into going too fast etc. I would never race my boat. She's been too good to me to treat her like that. Have had some wild rides on other peoples Cats and Trihulls but I prefer the steady pace......However , I have sailed in 16 foot waves. It happened twice. Once I was running with them and it was a ball. Just a fun ride on a roller coaster. Once I was trying to work against them and had to turn in on a 100 mile trip after only about 12 miles. Honestly , I hope it never happens again!! Like the scener in "Perfect Storm" only on a smaller scale. Its an erie feeling to look up and see a wave that's higher than your spreaders!
