If he headed for the hill, then he is a smart man. Those sea's were way too close for that boat to run.

I got caught in a gap with my grandson on board. The narrowing changed the waves to swells. Once I had the timing down it was better but turning the corner to get out of it was the worst. I went futher than I needed and then gunned it and ran a trough back behind the island that afforded a path to harbor.
