Rough ride

Looks like another day in the Delta, eh yzer!? Gives me an appreciation for folks who venture out in real rough water!
 
Not exactly a couple of feet of chop, is it?
 
The bar did not look to bad. It was those breakers in the distance that had my attention. The vessel did not seem to be taking it too bad, but I got a little concerned that he did not seem to be making too much headway there at first.

This reminded me of one of the small bars on the Oregon Coast. The bar at the Columbia River makes this all look like childs play.
 
He's doing his job... it's just another day in the business; that's what it's all about. It'll settle down "somewhat" when he gets to deep water, but I bet by then there'll be some cleaning up to do!!!
 
first one didn't look bad at all and I would have fished it. 2nd one had some 20+breakers...not in the same class.
 
In the first video it's a big boat making a passenger run. We're not talking about running breakers in a Grady White or Boston Whaler or even what happens in my old 26' boat in 3' chop. What happens on the commercial boats in rough water can look a lot like this:

(LiveLeak has a lot of rough water videos.)

This one is kind of cool. It's called Rogue Waves.

Always windy in the Azores. That is nothing compared to some of the stuff the Irish National Ferrry Service handles.
 
Not for me........
Makes me wonder how they even stay afloat.
 
I can see some people on here are not used to clearing a pass where there is some wave action.

I must admit I've not been out in anything like that in the last 2 videos, but it looks like fun, I love rough water. The water in the first couple of vids is a piece of cake.
