WOW!!!

Very very lucky. Either his cargo shifted or he's taken on a huge amount of water. That boat is very near to capsize and sinking.

Broach, not capsize.

I fished out of Noyo. Saw some pretty sick weather.

1987 ??????????

Amazing!

I was there & watched this from the bluff. If I remember right they had been staying out to sea, waiting for a chance to come in for quite some time. The captain finally felt he had to go for it.

crazy son of a bitch

Lucky!!

Surprisingly it seems the engines did not die. I think the skipper was very lucky although.. Cheers Wave

Now that's what I call arriving in style!
-

-
I think I was there at same spot taking photos! Nov. 1987.

"Nice" days at Noyo aren't much better than that!!

Wow..I remember this! I wasn't down in Noyo at the time, but was nearby. I think we watched this from the bridge! It was pretty intense.....November 1987....what a year for storms, eh?

Very amazing footage let alone the event itself. Me thinks he was bucking a maximum ebb tide so couldn't quite make way against the current. These old boats very rarely make over 6-7 knots to the water.So if you have 5-6 knot opposing current.
-
why not upgrade the engine? waste of time on travelling and risk everyone's life in bad weather.

Holy Cow !!!! I got a slow, old wooden Beals lobster boat, work a tough inlet in the north east and had my fair share of hairy passages. This captain must know his boat and inlet like the back of his hand, got the feeling he's been there and done that.
-
They surfed in alright! On their gunnel! Damn, that boat is somekinda slow! I hate coming in the cut during bad seas, get me all puckered up!
-
Why wouldn't they wait for the storm to pass? That's foolhardy.

A fishing boat capsizes entering Noyo Harbor, Fort Bragg CA in a storm. The Coast Guard rescue boat is standing by in the distance. Faster boats were able to surf into the harbor.
