I attempted to go out in the little Boston Whaler to help but
quickly determined that I'd probably just add to the problem as another
possible casualty due to the sea state we've had up here for the past few
days. (3-5 footers in close chop).

According to Chuck, those don't exist in the North Atlantic. And we
wouldn't be able to properly judge sea state anyway because "most" of
us are bozos with no experience in judging wave action. :)

Only the Manly Men of the Great Pacific North West can properly judge
sea states. :)

If we don't mention numbers to describe waves, are we allowed to at least
say stuff like "It's really phuqued up out here today!"? Or, "I don't see
how you can read with the boat flyin' around like this." You know - non
professional comments.
