New Caimen Running in the Nasty

I took my kids out on the Caimen today in Biscayne Bay to put the last few hours on the motor for the break in period. I ran across the bay towards Elliot Key and stopped at the sand bar for a few quick pics. As i was leaving the sand bar i looked to the west and saw a gray wall of rain moving in my direction. As it got closer i realized that it wasn’t rain it was the leading edge of a cold front. Suddenly the wind picked up to 20 mph and the seas were a NASTY 2 foot with 3 footers mixed in. I had a 10 mile run back to the marina so i figured i should start heading back before it gets any worse.

The water in the cockpit was up to my ankles but it immediately drained into the bilge and was pumped out in a matter of seconds. I then hit the throttle and started running into the nasty conditions. I was completely amazed how the Caimen was slicing through the waves and keeping us dry! It seamed that the faster i would go the better she would ride. I ended up cruising at 30 mph and when i arrived at the marina i thought to myself
