Sporty — small boats will get beat up

You will feel this one. Skiffs and small centre consoles will pound into it and anyone prone to seasickness will regret the trip. Pick your heading, slow down, and expect a wet ride home if the wind builds. This is a comfort read on wind and seas, not a safety clearance. You know your boat, your crew and your water better than any forecast does.
