We've been out since Tuesday. Had a great time. Played in Prince William Sound which requires a approx 35 NM open ocean crossing between protected areas.
The weather was great in protected waters but has been has been dicy outside, and didn't look great for our planned return trip on Sunday.
Woke up this morning and saw Gale Warning for today and not so fun seas for the next several days.
So, checked the bouys, and saw what appeared to be a small closing window of opportunity to get to our home waters, or be stuck, or go in seas that are not much fun.
Got underway annd cruised at 15-16 knots. Seas started to build towards the end but we made it quite comfortable all in all.
Sometimes big engines are an advantage. Running before the weather is one of those times.
