The only time I have a problem w beam seas is when I'm pressed for time and to put myself in that position is kinda dumb.
Most of the time even a course change of less than 30 degrees solves the problem.

I did zig to get the waves off the beam the first day, but the second and third days I think I had long runs and would have run out of daylight.

Again, a rookie planning mistake

With more experience I think it will get easier to handle.
