Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

How many times are we going to go over this...

1. Check the tide stations and the buoys for actual wind before you leave the dock
2. Use The RI Sound forecast for south of the bridge winds
3. It always feels worse. Conimicut was 15kt gusts this AM. just feels crappy dead up the bay
4. 4-6ft means in the trough you are looking up and just see water higher than your head... we had 6's with some 8's last canyon trip.... trust me that's big. Even in the tide there, 3ft and short spacing can feel big.

I'm just glad you estimate fish size better than wave heights

1. I did
2. I did
3. You don't get whitcaps at 15KTs
4. When I was in the trought I had waves almost up to the T-Top. Yes, 3AM does make it look worse but it was big none the less.
5. And Nebe, since you are a "yakker" I do not expect any comments from you about what real men do in real boats.

Don't make me go all sciencey on you

Red arrows are @ 330am. Until 330am you had a ebbing spring tide + 15kts southerly wind = white caps.

I always check fishweather for a real time buoy observation. Couple that with NOAA and their guesswork for a good guesstimate.

OK, I yield to the Doctor. I cannot win this battle. The war, perhaps, will be a different matter.
