Rough weekend?

Rough is an understatement; 66WINN is dead on concerning the 4 to 6 fr. waves!

I ran a diagonal course from Melody Island down past Diamond Island at about 1500 RPM (maybe 8 mph) during the early afternoon, and the boat was bucking like a bronco and throwing spray clear over the radar arch! I'd have liked to have run a bit slower, but, I needed that much power to maintain decent control!

66WINN, was the cruiser that you saw come out of the water a burgundy-colored 30 footer? If so, that was me!
