Some wild shots as America's Cup: catamarans capsize during racing in strong winds off Plymouth
#14
Sailing in big wind and waves is borderline crazy... I have experienced pretty much all of what has been described above. The rule of thumb is... """a good captain avoids crisis situations"""

Trouble is we can't always be good *(:>*

Extreme Windsurfing is like riding a silent motorcycle jumping at screaming high speeds, pushing the envelope to get some airtime... reckless abandonment osmosed *(:>*

Sometimes we do oceanographic research ~!~ :priate::devil: pounding the ocean floor under massive waves.... water weighs about 8.33lbs per gallon .. Now we are having fun *(:>* :devil:

Surviving wipeouts, pearling and all manor of such things makes for great conversation on the beach *(:>* :priate:

Forgot to mention those are some awesome photos and some radical conditions for those boats....
