Coast Guard Motor Whale Boat Takes on Huge Wave

Postby allingeneral on Fri Feb 22, 2008 12:12 pm

Pretty impressive pictures not taken by me, but the guy's account is below...

Large storm swells reached Morro Bay, California on December 4, 2007, bringing 15-20 foot swells with some plus sets. A U.S. Coast Guard 47-foot Motor Life Boat was out for practice maneuvers in the large surf, which is not unusual.However, a large wave hit that was probably more than they bargained for...at least it's the hardest I've ever seen them get hit. The air was filled with mist, and they were quite distant, so at times were just a shadow in the mist. I've adjusted them for better visibility, however the quality of the photos is not the greatest due to the above conditions, and futile attempts to keep the lens dry.
