    I seen this when it first aired. Bill is ex navy and one of the most experienced and seasoned Captains on par with Sig. But this was an error of judgement and it happens us all. Its called life. Thankfully they survived! :D

    I was a young sailor on USS Belleau Wood LHA-3 during a typhoon in 93 or 94 in the Pacific. We took a roll that I will never forget. That warship rolled nearly 40 degrees to port and stayed there for what seemed like an eternity. Chains holding down helicopters creaked and groaned under the strain. Loose gear could be heard clattering from decks above and below. Finally, she righted herself and we pushed on, but I still have dreams some 25 years later.

    Part of the problem is how small the Summer Bay is. It's only 110ish feet by 19 feet, and it has a rather shallow draft compared to others. When there's not as much hull below the waterline, combined with being skinnier, boats can be very tippy,

    I'm surprised they don't have pilots take over with an entry that rough...

    Seems it’s best to not go in there when there’s breakers out there!

    He should never have tried that in the first place! If anyone else had tried that Wild Bill would still be yelling at them.

    Does St. Paul NOT have breakwaters to stop dangerous seas???

      right? if it's that dangerous, I'd thought they would have something figured out. On the Washington State coast, some of the harbors and points of entry (like where the Columbia River meets The Pacific) are so dangerous, they won't let you pilot your own craft over the bar (down here, though, it's due to the silt on the bar. it changes so rapidly, there is no real way to map it).
      A helicopter, usually with accompanied by a smaller boat, will come to you, lower a pilot, who will then board your craft and take control. He pilots your boat or ship while the other boat acts as look out.
      not sure that's the answer here, but seems like there should be a solution....
