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
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?

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