[QUOTE="Keith1, post: 287121, member: 8028"] I have been off shore many times in my 15 foot Gregor Baja Special trolling for marlin , diving and what ever. Lots of people do it off the east cape of Baja California around Los Barriles all the timr. In this boat we have caught 10 bill fish. [9 marlin and 1 sailfish] If it gets rough what I have always done is to go slow and angle into the waves and after many years and trips have never had a major problem. One time however in the northern gulf at San Luis Island I had a new girl friend and we were on the north side of the island having a good time. We had to go 14 miles south and when we came around the east side to head south the wind had came up and the waves looked like mountains. We went a short distance, a couple of miles or so and it was obvious that the GF was getting nervious. She wrapped a towel around her head covering her face completely and laid down in the bottom of the boat. I asked what was she doing and she said that if we were going to die she wasn't going to watch it or something like that. What ever I guess. I am not trying to make fun of safety. Just keep a level head and a clear mind and that tin boat will take you on a lot more adventures safely than you think it will. Regards, Keith [/QUOTE]
