Thanks for all the replies.
I doubt this was a wake wave. It was way larger than any I ever
encountered, and traveling North-south, stretching all the way across the
bay. (The channel runs north-south, so any wake wave would travel east-west.
Also, it was only 2 waves very close to each other.

I've been sailing for about 1.5 years on a 13' hobbie and WW Potter P15.
My 30MkII is my 1st real boat of any size and weight. I have not sailed it

When do you 30MkII owners start reefing above what wind speed? I believe

You'll have to use an open source program called CanBUS and OpenCPN to

The OpenPlotter website and software suite might help too. There's also a

and runs on a laptop. The N2K signals can be served

It must be part of the ebb and flow thing. A few years ago there was no
east coast rendezvous at all, now there is a great gathering. The west

boats to the 15-20 that show up these days. After a few years, it gets

If your friend is tied up in a slip and putting his engine in gear at ½
throttle for 5 or more minutes, he better put some chafe protection on
oversized dock lines along with some really robust bumpers, otherwise he may be

I forgot to mention if it should be in gear. 850 to 900 is about the same as
the normal idle speed on a car so that sounds about right.

I my mind, the main reason to warm up the engine is to make sure that it would
not stall when you drop the revs to idle. When you leave the slip, you want to

I have encountered “rogue waves” offshore, but in this case I am going with the
ship/barge wake as the likely cause.
We have not had any earthquakes here this year, so I doubt that was the cause.

Wakes from ships can travel a long distance in the right conditions.
Off the South Florida coast, careless fishermen in small powerboats sometimes

Yanmar at idle or slow speed for long periods may cause soot build up in

That being said, you still need to let it warm up a few SECONDS or so to

A friend of mine insists that you cannot warm up a Yanmar engine at idle
speed. When we are still in the slip he puts it in gear and runs at about half
throttle. None of the other sailors appear to do this. Unfortunately many do
not give the engine a chance to warm up at all. I am open to s
