    Yep, the aim is not to broach.
    I've hit similar conditions like that four times. It aint funny. Take those waves at 45° ; straight on and you'll pitchpole; broadside and you'll broach.

    You wouldn't get me anywhere near there :rolleyespink:. I know that stretch of water and it frightens me just to look at it. It isn't all that far from where the miners were trapped underground.
