Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 2:50 pm Post subject: NEW SPORT - BOAT SURFING |
|
|
Subject: US Coast Guard 12/4/07 Morro Bay, CA.
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 o f the photos is not the greatest due to the above conditions, and futile attempts to keep the lens dry.

I'm switching from that Colorado Kool-Aid forthwith. It looks like I've located Jack O'Neill's (O'Neill Wetsuits founder) lost eye-patch.
BTW: I've also found his long lost prototype red booties. Shhh....don't tell anyone.

The entrance channel at Morro Bay is kind of famous for big waves in some conditions. I've seen a shot of George C Scott's boat for many years; you can find it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/emdot/11143585/
