I had already watched this one...amazing.

I have had to navigate similar waters off the coast of Washington in my 60 foot Ocean....pretty scary stuff...

I was thinking the same thing.

Fishing off the Columbia River bar near Ilwaco WA. Biggest waves I had ever experienced. Everyone got sick except the boat crew.

I was once in a horrible windstorm in the Straits of Juan de Fuca in a 40’ Tollycraft. The Coast Guard was very busy rescuing people that Labor Day weekend and I heard not everyone made it. We finally got back to Vancouver Island and hid in a cove until it blew over. Very scary!

The only ones that seemed to be ok were the sailboats.
