Local break in Mandurah was going off this morning, but check out the idiot fishermen.

I do but not very exciting. Boat rolls, rights itself and carries on.

Is it a fishing boat? It looks different to the boats on the east coast. Doesn't look like much room for nets, poles, traps or whatever they use.

See how much better a boat handles really rough conditions when it's not your boat and someone else is paying for it? There's almost no limit to how they can handle things.
I bet it could even handle a quick graunch over the reef without too much damage. Well, maybe quite a bit of damage, but if someone else is paying for it, what the heck?!

If you zoom in on the brown patch on photo 3 you can quite distinctly see a face. Wooooooo, spooky.

The swell must have been very localised to Mandurah, this morning it was 1.5m at Rotto and 0.6 m at Cott.
Someone good with Photoshop maybe ?

Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor, and now on a boat - think about that.....

THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!

The crew are standing on the bridge! So they must have harnesses or something, right? Or magnetic boots...? Maybe they're genetically-engineered freak-men, or maybe they were deliberately infected with venom from a radioactive spider!

Glad to see the US taxpayers' money is being put to good use!

Wow, they can afford that AND Iraq?

Why can't they make sails that last forever and masts that don't break?

And footstraps that don't wear out? Priorities, people! PRIORITIES!!!

Because those are generally not made in the US but in China by people on $2.5 a day.

Want quality US products? Buy Streamlined Boom... or photo cases from Pelican they are apparently all made in the US and will survive the next apocalypse.

RE the pics... the photos were taken in Morro Bay, California. Google it for more info.

Wave (sailing) ain't quite the same with power coming through a throttle.

The naval architect obviously didn't realize that his boat was meant to broach when going down the line.

Hi Folks,

Anyone know what the Naturaliste swell figs were for that Saturday? I was sailing Melros on my light wind Kona with a 6.9m sail and was grovelling through rather impressive 3/4 mast high walls in the afternoon.

Cheers, Jens
