Hi everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself to the group! I recently picked up a Monterey 214 FSC (cuddy cabin) equipped with a Mercruiser 5.0 MPI and it's my first boat.
I wanted to get a boat that I could take to the lake and also into the ocean.
It was my first time in the ocean with this boat this past weekend (beautiful weather) and I launched at Vanier Park and toured around the False Creek and Vancouver Harbour area.
Though the day was beautiful when I got to the burrard inlet (wanted to go to horshoebay) the water was quite choppy. Even though it was sunny clear skies and low wind. Just wondering if that is normal?
Apologies I am still very green to the scene.
Any tips and location recommendations are greatly appreciated.
John
