When the wind was blowing and the sea was up, I was WAAAY too busy to snap photos.
I need to ask the other guy on the boat (there were five of us: a kid who is renting a room from BIL, his 45 year old dad, and a lady I believe was the kid's grandmother or perhaps great aunt. She swore she was comfortable on the water and used to sail a lot, but I could see a little fear in her eyes when it got gnarly. The guys were egging me on, but I kept asking her if she was ok. I also did not want to flex the boat too much. Plus, if you nose a pontoon into a big swell at that speed, you Huli (flip) which is NOT good. You either have to head upwind to take the big swells head on,
or fall off wind and slow down. Kind of like driving a low rider over speed bumps. Hit big ones at an angle too fast, and you will mess up the car. Coming back though? You make graceful S turns to line up with the faces and surf.
So fun!
