Default Photos of a slight breeze on Puget Sound

http://www.pbase.com/gould/ferry_photos


These photos are not my original work. They showed up anonymously, in
an email being circulated very broadly among the maritime community in
this area. I have placed them, only temporarily, on my photo page to
share them with the group.

There always seems to be some discussion about "wave height" in this
group. For what it's worth, the bottom of the car deck is probably
about 5-6 feet above the surface in a dead calm. Most of the waves in
these photos seem to about that sort of height.

So here's a look at a not-entirely typical day on Puget Sound (just
off of Edmonds). Our nicest summer days are slightly better than
this, :-) !

No bikinis on the passengers? What's the point of boating if the gals
can't wear next to nothing.

Cathlamet when this pic. was taken from Mukilteo that day, not a big
deal folks just a bit of a bump .. this is not a Bayliner run-about ,
just a normal day in the "office" ... get over it
great pictures , not to much of a drama ... I wish some" tourist left
overs" experience this little ride, several times past summer I have
witnessed "panic" among pink skinned tourists, when we run over some
wake ... but thanks God they are home now ..again good pics. but

~~ Yawn ~~

Typical day in Narragansett Bay. :)

Hey - that rhymes!!

Kewl.

Neat pics - thanks for posting.

I have to find a QT movie I have of a Moran tug who ran into a wave
seqence in East Passage that literally had the props out of the water.
It's on my old disc drive and I haven't installed it yet. It's
interesting to see how the Captain got himself in trouble.

Give me something to do tomorrow.
