Coast Guard 47-ft Motor Life Boat 12/04/07 Morro Bay

Anybody for a boat ride ?? (Nothing on Snopes about this.)
------------------------------------------------------------ ------

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.
