At 60 knots would you not expect to see the tops blown off the waves, and more whitecaps?

There is plenty of spume there! Looks like they are towing a Jordan to slow her down.

Maybe it wasnt blowing 60kts when they made to vid. I would've expected to see the tops whipped off the waves too. But we cant deny they're good size rollers.

I imagine it would be a bit hary videoing at the worst of the storm..We haven't been out in anything like that but even in just 20kts + and blasting along shorthanded it gets too much of a handful to video..
