That was wild! Let's people know how rough Baffin can get. I know since all my friends with go fast boats put me in the front and never seem to slow down until we get just past Twin Palms and I start flying

I think this was offshore 20 miles from Baffin. Said there was 11 foot waves! Sounds like the sailor did all of the right things from a safety standpoint (except that he went offshore alone in 11 ft seas!) |

Well now that makes sense. I got an email that said it was Baffin
Caller Times story said in Baffin Bay then it said, closest shoreline was 20 miles away. Guess we both screwed up.

Not saying it was true in this guy's case, but my sister is a member of the Lake Travis Yacht Club. Blow boaters everywhere. It's funny as hell when you tell them you are a power boater, it's like admitting to being a leper.
They can tell you all about races and can rattle off the most useless facts about sailboats at the drop of a hat, but they can barely navigate out of the marina parking lot.
This guy was a mix of stupid and smart. Had an EPIRB, had a dhingy and survival gear, but went out alone and in horrible weather.
I wonder what his destination was? for that matter, I wonder if the dhingy is in Mexico yet?  |

Ah yes!! Reminds me of my old Navy days on the destroyer. 11 ft seas? - no bother - just bob like a cork, take green water over the bridge, and keep plowing forward. Riding out a typhoon - just make sure to strap yourself into your rack and remember how to walk on the bulkheads on the 40 degree rolls!!
