Good grief I hate that.

Especially when the boat rises up and then crashes back down. I fear if I should have a sea cock or some random hose failure during those times. I've buried the anchor. Not at all fun. Family not happy when we did that, but stuck in Pamlico Sound NC with an 8 knot cruise max.

What my pics show is when its bouncy but I feel confident enough to hold the iPhone out there. When I'm burying the anchor I am just driving and trying to manage the rise and fall of the boat to minimize the impact forces.
