That's funny have we met? Did you ever sail from Galveston to Veracruz or an open water sail from St Petersburg Fl. to Veracruz? I'm glad I wasn't on the one in 1988 when 33 boats went missing 50 MPH winds 20 ft + seas. All of the gimmicky gadgets in the world cannot protect a yacht from that stuff.
