From the mouths of survivors. It wasn't the ill advised boat trip into rough seas, but the 455' monster wave that hit us. In other words cover your
ass so you don't look like a fool. MACHO MUNCHO!

I am not familiar with the facts of this particular story but I am very familiar fishing around Cerralvo Island. Did the 24' boat actually sink or
capsize? I routinely fish in that area and have been out there in all kinds of conditions. My boating experience has always prompted me to head
straight up swell and then straight down swell when the seas are up and the wind is blowing. I have seen larger set waves (rogues?) created by a
combination of swell and wind gusts coming together but as long as I am headed into them or traveling down swell slower than the moving swells so
they can go under me, I have never had a problem. But I have to agree with others that the ocean can be capable of amazing things in a very short
matter of time. I can see how someone could get caught side saddle in a trough when I large wave crests and that's all it takes if you are not
expecting it. To get back to the original question of the post, fishing on a windy day is pretty common. You just have to be a little more alert.
The good part about this story, going south or not, is that our fellow fishermen are home safe. Simple as that!
BTW, a recent 8.0 earthquake just caused a 10'-0" mini Tsunami in the south pacific..... Of course a rogue wave is possible from that kind of natural
occurence.

Good judgement comes from experience, unfortunately most experiences are the result of bad judgement.....

Since this is still going on I'll have to add, the north end of Cerralvo has many submerged and not so submerged rocks depending on the tide that
could do any boat in if they were lifted and dropped on one, it could happen to anyone.

Wave turns on Acapulco
Rogue waves are trying for bigger and better things. Six people rescued on a sunny day after being swept off the sidewalk. A large wave warning was
reported to be posted by the Mexican government for all of the Pacific coast until April 13.

You should take a remedial english
class, so you can tell the difference between a sidewalk and a beach.
the only thing unusual about this is that it usually happens later in the season. Must be a slow news day down-under.

Bancoduo, sorry to mislead you. Please move quickly from the sidewalk to the beach.
