HOW TO DRIVE A BOAT IN ROUGH SEAS - BIG OCEAN SWELLS!

Spent four years in the US Coast Guard and l learned more about correct seamanship from you two young ladies than I did in the Guard . Thanks for what you are doing and I guarantee you will be saving lives ! You may never know it but you WILL !

[@choimdachoim9491]

A quarter of a dollar is 25 cents but a quarter of 180 degrees (or direction of waves) is 45. Really useful, necessary and potentially life-saving information presented here. I've been watching boat-fail videos lately and I understand the mistakes people are making in rough seas now.

[@kashfiqbal]

This was my mistake, taking waves at 45 degrees is often feel like I lacked control of the boat as it exposed the broadside

[@awittypilot8961]

Yeah...you two cuties pretty much nailed it. Following seas trim up and find your speed....opposite into the waves, the sea will make your bow lift so trim down and find your speed. For troughs trim asymmetrically. It's ok if your tabs/motors don't match. GREAT vid though....I raced offshore for a long time and your advice is definitely sound. It's really about speed more than anything. Sometimes slower can even be dangerous....same with going too fast

[@GaleForceTwins]

Thank you!! 😊

[@thercattrainer]

This is one of the best videos that I have ever seen on operating a motor vessel in rough seas. I worked for many years in the Gulf of Mexico Oil Patch as a USCG licensed Merchant Marine Captain, and AB Special while hauling fluids, equipment, supplies, groceries, and personnel to and from the oil platforms and I’m still on active status. Keep up the good work Gale Force Twins!

[@getitdone6694]

Was coming back from Anacapa at Channel Islands west coast with my son, 17mph winds and 23 gusts, seas were rough as hell, in a 20 foot bowrider I/O 5.7L waves coming from all sides following, side and front riptides. It was a washing machin spin cycle. So following in the trough was out of the question, that was my first adventure in rough seas. Learned on the spot. Best advise is be calm don't go to fast or too slow stand up have patience. I remember flying of the crests into the holes. It was a 12mile or so stretch. Rough as hell my son was freaking out and he was 22. In semi rough seas like the video the advice given in this vudeo is spot on. Really enjoy watching the twins. Thanks for the great content.

[@MichaelWillems]

I’m a new boater: just five hours experience on a bowrider. Yesterday the local river was quite rough, and I worked almost all of this out through trial and error. Obviously you supplied additional detail and laid it out in a very logical manner. I am also a educator and allow me to say, you two are excellent teachers. Thanks!

Thanks Amanda & Emily! We retired to Myrtle Beach and recently joined a well-known boat club. Off the South Carolina coast it’s fairly shallow for some 13-15 miles before the drop off to the deeper ocean and deep sea fishing. When not inshore fishing, we’ve learned there are a couple spots (holes) three miles offshore. We’re just learning how to boat and will be getting training and certified to pilot offshore. This video was very helpful as it was clearly explained and easily understandable. Again, Thanks & Fish On!

First time viewer. Loved the video, girls! I'm an old freshwater lake boater and can appreciate your great advice. The ocean is a completely different ballgame, and when you are in an open bow boat with and inboard, you really need to be careful not to bury the bow in a wave and allow all of the water to drain down into the engine compartment where it will kill your motor and leave you stranded!

I have three daughters, 8,6&3. We recently discovered your channel. They are constantly begging me to watch Gale Force Twins. Today they were playing “Gale Force Twins” and one of them caught a “5” salmon” that was a keeper, the other one caught a “3” salmon” that was too small so she thew it back. They also caught a “15” crappie” and a “15 pound swordfish”... 😆 Fishing is my life so I try to keep them interested and take them out even though I’ve been too busy with work to get out much myself these last 3 years. I’m really glad they now have two nice young women for role models to keep them interested in fishing outside of the few trips I take them on.

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

Especially on a 18 foot motorboat. My first solo ride ended up in a moderate storm winds gusting at 40mph while aproaching marina docking was almost imposible. Sharp waves on a boardside NW-W wind...eventually what save me are all those books about sailing. I went straight inside marina and took U turn right after the wave and went against the wind to docking station. 2 rental guys waited for ropes. I was with 2 kids and wife...never again made same mistake. From that day windy app and radars are always on hours before we go out and even then I follow closely weather developments all day offshore. Adriatic Sea in Europe can be really surprising and dangerous.

[@davidgaylord7453]

I think it's important to note that every boat handles seas differently. It's important to know how your boat handles the seas and your own skills, and then don't exceed your or your boats limits. Challenge yourself to learn and get experience but don't get in over your head. Always know where your safe out is also, sometimes it's better to wait for better conditions, whether that is a change in tide or a change in weather.

Excellent explanation , awhile back my wife and I toured a whale watching charter in the Monterey Bay. It makes sense now why we’re in a zig zag pattern 1 mile out of the harbor. Our seas were a lot more choppier, windier and more white caps than your video. The wife didn’t like the diesel smell at the aft so there was a unoccupied spot next to the captain’s window, the captain actually ask my wife to please step back so he can read the ocean! I do recall the captain would perform all of those maneuvers, we would be rocking and rolling in neutral giving us the opportunity to capture a group of whales breaching for the sardines. Very informative on what to look for in open seas. TY

[@sledzep01]

Generally you should use the trim on the motors first as the tabs add drag. The tabs can assist if needed. Tabs are great to compensate side to side the if the weight is off

[@RP133]

@@sledzep01 Thank you. According to vessel view, I’ve seen my mpg go up sometimes using my trim tabs. Just found it interesting and wondering if anyone else uses tabs for performance or solely for side to side.

[@jakelrsaunders]

Agreed, when travelling down/following seas trim tabs can't provide more bow lift than the natural running attitude of the boat at that speed. Trimming the motor redirects the thrust and can actively lift the bow. I also trim up when running across sea to keep the bow up and make the water break further back giving a drier ride.
