Catalina run

[ChumpChange]

Now you're trying to scare her. I didn't want to say anything about the possible 6-8' swells. But you're right, when you're little (relatively speaking) boat is at the bottom of the swell, the top of the swell looks like monster title waves. But then you usually, almost always, come out of them and then things are usually ok.

Yeah you're right. The small boat I was talking about was a 60' Viking. Hope the boat she is on is bigger than that! It can get rough out there.

Just curious, but how fast do you guys normally run when you're out there?

As fast as possible. Unfortunately when you lose an engine on the way there due to it being so rough that the radio head unit falls backwards through the dash and takes out the starboard motor wires, sometimes you have to go slow. This happened on my last trip on LHC30's Advantage. Fortunately it was an easy fix after getting into Avalon. We tried to rewire while running but the minute you went into the midcabin, you'd feel sick.

I think it would be in my best interest to drink a little something before heading out on the maiden voyage.

Drinking so much that you Chum the water is a great way to attract sharks.
