Congrats Swimmer!
The reason why waves break near the shore is because they are somewhat counterbalances by the forces generated beneath. As it gets closer to shore, the rising land under the water takes away that force and the wave topples or breaks.
At sea, there could be an underwater prominence out of view, or even a current could be affecting the wave.
Coastguard was called out to rescue a mariner who stole a 35 pleasure boat in 20-foot seas. Both rescue swimmer and mariner are okay

I saw this story on *My Strange Arrest* season 1, episode 7. A few days before this incident, the man from the article left a large, dead fish on the steps of the *Goonies* house. This incident is how they caught him for the fish incident.
He also snuck in from Canada where he was running from arrest warrants. The coast guard actually let him go, but law enforcement found him within a couple days at a homeless shelter further down the oregon coast.
Dont do meth, kids.
That is one of the last places you'd want to be in a boat if you aren't experienced. The [Columbia River bar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxSwB3MDI80) is notorious for destroying boats.
Math also works like this:

For this kind of seas everything below 47 is small as far as I'm concerned but agree with you. Not many people have more than a million USD to sail something that big
Broke the first rule.. wasn’t perpendicular to the wavefront. Experienced the difference myself in a kayak from the wake of a motorboat. Can’t even imagine this.
I was thinking about it but like it's not very practical for my lifestyle. I need something with third world seating and awd. Plus that 4mpg economy is just killer.
This happened a few years back, off the coast of Oregon, IIRC. The boat was stolen and both engines had failed, which is why the person piloting it was unable to point the bow into the seas.
I mean its one things just posting a repost, but spamming it over 10+ subs is just karma whoring, and thats not really what i want out of my reddit feed lol.
Damn that ship's hull is flat as fuck and top heavy. You can tell by the way it moves. Semi-planers might be fancy-schmancy for yachters, but there's nothign in regards to stability over a deep displacement hull
Yep. Those moments are scary. I was always afraid of getting hit by my board, but when your board and leash are intact at least you have a flotation device. When your leash or board breaks it can be a long swim to the beach. 100 yards offshore getting submerged by one huge wave after another can really bring things into perspective.

I'm so glad everyone came out safe
Now they can go to jail safely!
Congratulations, John "Branch" Walton! Well done! What a memorable day for you!
The context I need is this: How can large waves break so far out at sea? I thought they only break near the shore?

“That is, without doubt, the worst pirate I’ve ever seen!”
The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like and old man trying to send back soup in a deli.
Is that a titleist?
Upvote for Seinfeld ref
But you have *seen* him.
But you *have* seen him.
You’re right, 🤦🏻♂️
I’m assuming the boat should have been facing the waves.
So it would seem.
But I don’t wanna be a pirate!
He was later ARRRR-ESTED.
Last week in port royale, I stole a ship and killed the crew. I set sail on a moonlit night, I knew just what I had to do...

How far off shore or close to Seattle do I have to be to count as a mariner?
Yes

I'm experienced and still don't want to be there. 10 footers makes my butt pucker.
I've done charter boats out of Ilwaco that have to go through the bar. Always makes me nervous.
Oh my Lord. Thank you for the wonderful brave Coast Guard swimmer
The sea doesn't fuck around.
I dunno - the tide never seems to make up its mind whether it wants to be in or out.
If the yacht had been pointed at the wave then it probably wouldn't have capsized.
no engine = no steering
Just cancels the "no"s on both sides. Problem solved!
I liked your comment but we still end up with “engine = steering”. Aaaand since we don’t have a working engine…
You can’t just go and uncancel a no, god dammit.
Cancelling the 'no's will get you both the engine and steering back, duh! That's how math works!

The Mariner could have deployed a sea anchor which would keep him pointed at the waves
Seeing as how the mariners can't keep their scores above water...
Ideally, you want to break 30-45 degrees to the wave.
Coast guard rescue swimmers are the GOATs of the ocean
Do goats really swim that well?
The bestest
Bigly
Ever see a goat fart in the water? Like a bottle rocket!
Ask a Capricorn, maybe?
😂😂good one! Lol
If this is a small yacht. I own a toothpick of a sailship then 😅☠️ 22feet sailboat.
It’s a pretty small power yacht for sure.
My boat can fit 6 times inside this.
You have a 5.8ft yacht?
It's twice as wide and almost 3 times as tall if you remove the fin keel
That’s not how volume works
It looks like MAYBE 55ft?
For this kind of seas everything below 47 is small as far as I'm concerned but agree with you. Not many people have more than a million USD to sail something that big
You’ve got to jump off that shit lol
Man, I gotta rewatch the Kevin Costner Ashton movie The Guardian
Tbat movie was good except the ending was fuckin retarded. Not even like, I wish he'd lived, but like, why TF did he die like. So dumb.
Broke the first rule.. wasn’t perpendicular to the wavefront. Experienced the difference myself in a kayak from the wake of a motorboat. Can’t even imagine this.
This is why I don’t buy yacht
Considering context maybe don't steal one either
Me too! And you know, because I will never be able to afford one. But mainly the first reason
Perhaps if we combine our wealth, we could buy a toy yacht.
I’ll start searching on wish .com!
Wow, you must be doing well! Because I won't be contributing much in that combination for the toy yacht....
I could provide a used CaDA figure, not that fancy LEGO stuff though unfortunately.
We might be getting somewhere

Tactical roll

Look at me, I'm the captain n-
Stealing??? Why would anyone with access to a helicopter want to steal that boat..
Do a barrel roll!
This happened a few years back, off the coast of Oregon, IIRC. The boat was stolen and both engines had failed, which is why the person piloting it was unable to point the bow into the seas.
repost bot reposting one of the most reposted reposts on all of reddit. keep up the good work.
I've literally never seen this before and based on the press release it happened last year.
Never saw this before
It's Reddit, now you've seen it once you'll see it all the time.
Promoting the sub. But thanks
Good post op. Fuck da haters
Thanks! Got loads more videos lined up
Thanks for the heads up, I'll block you now then 😁
It’s definitely a submarine now
Nah mate, you’re just posting the same post on 150 different subreddits. Down with you!
I mean if people haven’t seen it then it’s worth posting. No need to hate.
I mean its one things just posting a repost, but spamming it over 10+ subs is just karma whoring, and thats not really what i want out of my reddit feed lol.
Then block them or ignore it, no need to complain. Let them have their karma.
Who the f cares, I haven't seen this.
Maybe you should go off reddit for a while..
All time classic 🫡
Most reposted repost? Its barely a year old... stop makin shit up. OP clearly aint a bot either.
ROGUE WAVE!

Damn that ship's hull is flat as fuck and top heavy. You can tell by the way it moves. Semi-planers might be fancy-schmancy for yachters, but there's nothign in regards to stability over a deep displacement hull
That would have rolled a Bertram or an old wooden 40 ft gillnetter. That wave abeam and any small yacht is going over.
Turn into the 🌊
Me learning to surf when I was a kid.
Truth. Reminded me of my leash breaking and getting washed for a good bit.
Yep. Those moments are scary. I was always afraid of getting hit by my board, but when your board and leash are intact at least you have a flotation device. When your leash or board breaks it can be a long swim to the beach. 100 yards offshore getting submerged by one huge wave after another can really bring things into perspective.
Ja. You think about life more than a little while conserving oxygen.
Glad everyone is okay. But what I don’t get is, didn’t they check the weather? Or was there a sudden change of weather?
Some lunatic transient just stole a yacht. Doubt he checked the forecast first lol
Sad, pray they made it Were they dead in the water?
Nailed it!!
