I have a 23 foot deep v hull, and I have gone as far as fifty miles offshore out of Galveston. That wind speed might be OK, but 8 foot seas in the open ocean? Maybe I'm a wuss, but that's not very smart. No radio. I won't even comment on that.

And no not a wuss, just not into breaking equipment or bones from the beating, it's supposed to be pleasure boating!
