16' Deep Vee not enough?

I fished out of it last Wednesday and it handled the rough East wind fine for about a 7 mile trip back. Watch the weather and wind. Even the big boys have to do this.

Do you recall what that wind was? Looking ahead, there is some East to NE wind in the 8-10 range. Understand it can change, but does it usually get ugly at about 15, from that direction, jigging the reef area? Understanding one person's ugly is a lot different than another's.

Well, I cannot remember for sure but I'm thinking 10-20 knots. It got to rough for me to enjoy. I took a face full of water multiple times heading back to Catabwa, but that I enjoyed!!lol

The weather and wind forecasts changed about 3 times in 24 hours between Tuesday and Wednesday. It was windy at dawn but it was W-SW and maybe 1.5- 2 footers. way more than that by noon.
