Beach Launch Punta Chivato


I don't know where these wave came from. After 2 weeks of these big swells it calmed yesterday but this morning I woke to the sound of waves???
Looks okay now

Better wait a moment

Nope that doesn't work



WAIT!

OH SUGAR it's off the trailer



Didn't see that coming!

All's well that ends well!

I don't see the passenger and I see what looks like a large fish fin on the right lower part of the last picture. Hopefully, it wasn't a shark that just had a meal.

The passenger is on the back side of the boat with just the top of his hat showing. The fin is part of a sculpture on the deck, see first photo in sequence. No meals were had.

That's not a shark. That's a whale ... albeit a small one.

Mike & his Bayliner are very experienced at launching in front of my place. Just some launches are smoother than others:biggrin:
He caught the last big swell in the set and it has settled down a lot since. So I'm giving Mike the credit of taming the beast:!:

Every photo got progressively worse and the bad decisions just kept piling up. Why not wait it out? :lol::lol:

Never go parallel with an oncoming wave. You are bound to get tossed. I learned this in Alaska.
