Me and my moms( my stepdad has been out before) first time out on the ocean a year or two ago we decided to hire a deep sea trip for 6 hours or something like that. anyway The captain takes us out and we catch a few small 5' long sharks and decide to fish for barracuda no luck there. A storm starts to blow up and the captain is like we need to head in so as we start in we are about 15-20 miles out this storm starts getting a little rough. im guessing 6-10 foot waves no biggie we are in a decent sized boat single diesel engine ect and it wouldnt have been no big deal but the guy just turns on auto piliot and watches his weather/radar the whole trip in so the boat is hiting the waves alllll wrong and throwing me out of my sitting position and at one point pitching up on its side. Needless to say we wasnt happy with his performance.

Re: Ocean storm

Don't think I would be on auto pilot in that situation.
