NY Bay trips

[Swatski]

This was our last trip, this Saturday.
Started the day with beautiful weather



Which quickly turned to crap before we even hit the fishing grounds - we were targeting Rockaway Reef, south of LI, today


The seas turned 3-4fters - not fun (we would be running airborne in our other boat, a 24ft Yamaha jet boat, lolol) so we cut and ran into safety of NY harbor






Once in the channel, we outran the storm, which only caught up with us when we were already pulling out of marina's parking lot.

It never looks as bad in the video's, but I am sure it was not fun.

Thats my life on my 1801 about 7 times out of 10. Keeps the passenger list to a minimum.

Yep. We knew it could get wet and rough so we were just around the corner from NY harbor.
Didn't time it quite right, though, lol.

Before we entered the harbor, passing along the Brighton Beach, we were taking 4-5ft waves with short period for few minutes, water splashing over the roof, lol. This Parker is an absolute beast.
