We have anchored out for 10 days at times waiting for the seas to drop below 2 meters (6.5 feet).



Bay Pelican is full displacement with active stabilizers.


Good to know, thanks. Would it be safe to say that the winds are calmer and the seas a little lower in the predawn and early morning hours than they would be in the afternoon?
