Hang the washing out Darl', 60 knots should dry it!

You know how the camera takes a couple of metres off the seas....

At 60 knots would you not expect to see the tops blown off the waves, and more whitecaps?

There is plenty of spume there! Looks like they are towing a Jordan to slow her down.

Maybe it wasnt blowing 60kts when they made to vid. I would've expected to see the tops whipped off the waves too. But we cant deny they're good size rollers.

I imagine it would be a bit hary videoing at the worst of the storm..We haven't been out in anything like that but even in just 20kts + and blasting along shorthanded it gets too much of a handful to video..
