The open ocean waves are NOTHING compared to what you see close to shore.

Oh and big ocean cruiseliners do not count. Anything smaller than 300ft in big swells takes some serious cojones and a bullet proof digestive system that can hold food back.

Been there done that got the shirt and wont be back!

13 yrs old in a 25ft boat is freaking stupid! what is the point? To fulfill a dream? she has an entire life in front of her to do it why so young? There is definitely a hidden agenda with the father.


Right on Robi! I have been on the North Atlantic on 100 ft fishing vessels in BFT 11-12, and there is no way I would let my 13 year old (actually mine is 12...) take the chance of experiencing that! Even Bft 6-7 on the open ocean is very hairy in a 24 ft boat...
It will be an education allright! eek
