I’m getting ready to take my boat north up to the Puget Sound in the next couple weeks. I’ll of course look for a good weather window. But I notice swells are almost always straight out of the west, meaning they’ll be directly across my beam the whole way up.
Given my rolly single engine semi-displacement CHB, are there any strategies I should consider? I could tack to keep them off my quarter, but then half the trip they’d be following, which might even be worse. Is it possible riding with swells across my beam isn’t as bad as I am imagining?
