Former USMC thanks guys for doing all you do defending our ocean's and keeping us safe when shit goes wrong great branch of our wonderful American Services Semper Fi
All those BMs on the boat give credit to the engineers too for keeping it running in times of need. Just remember without the Eng you guys would be rowing still
Nice Vid. I was stationed at Depoe Bay back in 85-88 running the 44's. Had lots of fun in the surf! Even got to run the last 36' MLB in the CG (36535 - Woody) for a while til they decommed her. Plowed into a 12 footer right on North Point in the 36' once. It bent the bronze spray shield back on us and pinned the throttle full astern! Talk about a cluster fock trying to get the shield up off the throttle so we could get the hell off the reef! Fun stuff. Thanks for sharing!
4:11 my dad was sideways to a wave but like a 15 foot an it was one of the boats mates that was driving it was 47 footer like that an next he knew he flu over and hit the window
There's better visibility from the open bridge. In really rough water, it is helpful to have a spotter for port and starboard as waves can come from multiple directions, especially at rough bar crossings. They are usually clipped in with a harness in rough waters.
They are clipped in. When these boats do capsize they self right so the guys on this bridge just have to hold on. These are perhaps the most survivable boats in existence.
Surf training is rescue training. When ships get stranded in rough surf along the coast or at bar crossings, the Coast Guard will dispatch helicopters, motor lifeboats and surf swimmers to rescue people and tow disabled boats.
Its to train for the worst weather they will see in these boats with an emergency. We had two boats go down a few months back about an hour south of this spot and they parked one of these boats in the bar most of the night so no one hit the wreckage.

Why are the coast guardsmen standing on the outside of the boat, where if the boat flips over they could all potentially get seriously injured

Shit, you better call them and tell them how to do it son!
what's the point of surf training? could someone enlight me? Or is it just to take a shower or to wash the boat?
