GFS - my first Bahama trip, which involved 3-4 hrs crossing the stream in seas running anywhere from 1' to 8', combined with running 100 nm on Little Bahama Bank in 2' square waves, definitely made me a believer in "The Ride"! Since I was only running a 115 OB at the time, I used to hope it would kick up a bit - then the faster boats would have to slow down so it was easier to stay with them! I did feel a bit shorter at the end of some of those trips however!
