With everyone posting the wild conditions out there, throwback to being caught by a 20m rogue wave back in 2018

It was part of an awesome yacht delivery between Southern Spain and North Wales and after a night of zero progress beating into the wind with the tide either upping the waves or helping to push us back. It did actually get pretty hairy shortly after we decided to head into our backup port of safety with actual 5m+ waves following us around the bottom of Pembrokeshire after the tide turned. All the good parts that make up a fun delivery - not to mention my only experience with dolphins hunting fish and bioluminescence at the same time the night before the weather turned a bit. Not something I expected in the Irish Sea, but it had been a warm summer.
