Not sure if this belongs here, but anyone who’s done much boating in the ocean could appreciate this trip. In the fifth photo down, note the angle of the boat. I’d rather stand on the beach and watch.

But did they catch anything?
Think how stupid the average person is, then realize that half the people are dumber than that.
It’s the Coast Guard training in an MLB at Cape Disappointment, WA. They go out and do that for fun.
Imagine the guy drinking coffee in the bow cabin…
I’d hate to be on the head when she rolled.
Me and Scales here done caught 6, how 'bout you?
big balz.
The older I get, the better I was.
schoolsout would do that in the fog

I was a FF in OH for 7 years, back country skied in MT and been whitewater rafting. With all this, I have done some fun (stupid) and crazy (dangerous) stuff, but at no point do I think that would be a fun ride. At 32, I am still a pup, but no way could I get the ballz up to do that whether for fun or pay. Kudos to the men and women who try to save our butts when it is really snotty out there.
BEERS UP…SOCIAL!
Here is some video of the same. This is not photoshop gentlemen.

If you can’t stand behind our soldiers, try standing in front of them.

Those appear to be guys standing in the tower. I wonder if they are strapped in…or strapped together…when they encounter conditions like that. They appear to be still standing when the boat rights itself.

Yep…I thought of that day when I saw these pix. I wonder if that 31 Contender would have righted itself as this boat did. Something tells me that we almost got REAL wet.

a friend of mine was flying over that place (devoix bank (sp)) in a private plane a month or so ago and said the swells were so big the pilot actually turned around to see it again. he said it looked like hawaii.
The older I get, the better I was.
I had a friend that did that a few years ago. He said from height of eye on the flying bridge to the waterline was 15ft…that wave looks close to double that. I guess the best thing to do in that situation would be just punch the throttles and cross your fingers
Land is a hazzard to my navigation.
