My friend Mike Zarkos has a photo on his website that shows an
85-footer negotiating 20-foot breakers off of Morro Bay. (George C
Scott was aboard at the time). If you take a look at the photo (warning
in advance, there are some boats for sale on the same page)and try to
imagine conditions at least that severe and a 34-foot boat, it becomes
clear what a hare-brained stunt crossing in such conditions would be.

Damn - that was one hell of a ride.

It's a wonder the boat didn't roll over.

The ocean can be ok for boating, but with the correct direction of swell,
Morro Bay can have big breakers at the mouth. Same with the entrance to
Tomales Bay here in NorCal.
