Another of the regular Coast Guard exercises in our Bay.Those are 25-foot waves dwarfing the 47-ft Coast Guard MLB.
You KNOW they love every minute of it! and I'm happy to say almost 1/2 of the regular new recruits are women.
Fun to watch!

Sandy: either way, it's an excellent capture of the action. Richard

Heart pounding action shot. Makes me queasy just looking. Nice job capturing this. I wonder if there is any more detail to be seen in the bright whites? Regardless, great shot.

Whatever it is they're doing Sandy you captured it very well. The wave rising over the bow and crashing onto the Bridge really makes the shot for me.
