- Currently looking for next boat
All, we are sitting in the Bahamas and looking to cross back to the US from marsh Harbour. Our destination will be Fort Pierce. Our boat is a 46 footer. We will be traveling at about 8 kn, and have hydraulic stabilizers.
This will be our second crossing in this boat. As former sailboaters, we always paid attention to see State, but this boat is not as salty as our sailboat. As I look at wave height versus period In the golf stream, I am wondering if a wave period twice that of the height will be comfortable in the stream. If waves are predicted out of the north at 3 feet will I be comfortable with a six second interval, or should I avoid all northerly waves?
In sights would be appreciated...
Thanks
Gordon
