fall over the top and launch the screws,had to have someone on the throttle at all times

Couple Bermuda's ago we were tr#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g through the gulfstream hitting high 30's on a turbo sled.

Every once in a while one of the 2 primary helmsmen would stuff the bow into the back of a wave.

Watching a 100+ foot carbon rig move 4 feet out of column was kinda sketchy.

Navigator sticks his head out the companionway and says "hey guys, we need to slow the boat down before we break her."

Where's NF, I'm sure he's got some stories.

Sleep feet forward in your bunk incase the bow gets stuffed at high speed. Broken necks have resulted from sleeping head forward.
