"With the double-ender whaleboat type you'll probably find it easier to take the seas over the stern. With stern to the sea and enough motion from the oars to give steerageway, you have an ideal situation under the circumstances. Or at least as ideal a situation as one could have riding out a gale in midocean in a lifeboat"
