18 feet !!!

It's not the steady 18's that get you, it's the maximum wave height of 26 that causes the problems......

 

[rschap1]

Heard mention of the 26s on the radio this morning...
I am thinking the 18s wouldn't be anything to take lightly either.

You said Apache...... Is Bobby S. driving?

 

[Ratickle]

If that were the case we'd have a whole boat load of volunteers.....

 

[old377guy]

It ain't the 18's or the 26's, it's landing back in the trough...........
