we sailed the Cook Strait Rollercoaster Ride in a 16 foot ply trailer sailer for 7 hours in that stuff,
ferrys canceled, and on our own, sunk the dingy "lasted 3 or 5 minutes after the wind struck ",
radio in the cabin that we never dared trying to get open, cellphones in a plastic bag the only hope if we went over, surf smashing on the west coast, maybe if we hit the beach at makara we would have had a chance,
shame we didn't have the video camera strapped on the mast or something (with diving case), not that i really would need to see the film as their is one etched in my brain that i will never forget ( Alzheimer's excepted ),
every single wave was like a ever changing road that took your total attention to get over , then surfing them into plimmerton and only spinning the boat when mostly in the entrance,
the nicest beer and bath i ever had that night ...
