Hi Paul,
This film clip had me bracing in my chair as I watched! That was some pretty angry looking chop/swell you were in – were you out to play or heading somewhere? Keep ’em coming!!

Hi Scott – Thanks for the comment. We were just out to explore the seas a bit. It was filmed at Netarts, an area that I and others out here go to quite a bit. It can be tame and pleasant or wild and wooly depending on conditions and tide. I especially love it in the winter.
