It was "interesting" in swells similar to yours, and looking down twenty feet into the wave troughs.
One never plans to deliberately brave terrible weather. Like this summer, me having to tow three other boats tied to me, backwards at 5,000 RPM into a raging line squall with 50 MPH + winds, hail and four foot seas. Dropped on our 500 boat raft-up out of a clear blue sky and calm seas in about ten minutes.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention weaving around other boats and water toys strewn around the ocean, backwards at 5,000 RPM, with three other boats attached. I do not recall a class/chapter in captain's school for doing that. The other boat owners were pretty thankful though!<gg>
