going out with skipper 9 one time JIM told me a storm with high winds, you should go with the wind and waves not into them.

Yes....you need to control your boat speed to stay with the speed of the waves, if really high waves then throttle control is even more important so you don't get swamped. Get some practice in smaller waves, learn to "surf" your boat with the waves, the practice will pay big time if ever caught in severe weather...
