DItto, on the waves at Bird Island. About got me on one of my first times out with my bass boat quite a few years ago. At first I couldn't figure out why everyone was pulling anchor and running. When the cabin cruisers started running, I knew I was in trouble and got on my way, but a little too late. Just about lost the boat that day. Got to test the bilge pump though. I was fortunate that the harbor was the same direction as the waves and I was able to get on a swell and "ride-it-home". It can really kick up fast there. Be careful out there.
