Oops - brown trouser moment

 

[catalac08]

You can't just leave us hanging like that-what was the outcome?

 

[laffinskip]

can,t see anyone in the cockpit.--down below praying no doubt,or looking for some clean underpants.

What's the story? Looks like the sail cover is on, no foresail rigged, towing a dinghy and that beach looks pretty dry to have a wave that size approaching it. Is it a tsunami picture?

 

[sailorman]

Then Photoshop crashed

 

[laffinskip]

Windsurfers finally see the light and re-invent the yacht.

Looks very odd to me too; if in doubt nowadays, yell ' photoshop ' !

With the tender on the back, it looks as if it might have broken from its moorings, or anchorage.
Or photoshopped.

And no prop wash. If I were on there the motor would be screaming.

I don't think it's photoshopped. The spray around the bound is very good: he wouldn't have missed the prop wash.

I don't think the boat and wave are photoshopped - where would you get a pic of a boat at that angle and as you say the spray is good. I think there is a story there.

4) Before anchoring always consider the effect of a shift or increase in wind or swell....

[mirror image]

ok CUT!!!

Sorry Moses - can we go again love?

and someone get rid of that bloody boat ...

 

[john_morris_uk]

Why has no-one noticed that its not a 'lee' shore?

From the way the spume is being blown off the top of the wave it seems clear to me that the wind is blowing offshore. If you look at the original sequence of pictures its even more obvious.

However the boat is caught in the breaking waves and surf and gets pounded onto the beach. A sad story whatever the background.

 

[Seajet]

The beach being dry despite waves like that - whether the wind is blowing on or offshore, or straight up - screams ' photoshop ' to me...

Roberto,

I may be missing something but that's just another pic of a sailing boat ( monohull ) in a place where it shouldn't be ?

That and the OP's pic do confirm everything I've always said about people who set off with sail covers on though...

Interesting comment from the owner of the photo (on flickr) -

Nobody was aboard. There are usually several vessels anchored in the sand outside the protection of the jetty's / breakwater.
They are towed out there by the harbor master because their owners decided not to pay their slip rental / fees.

Grim! Over here they're left to rot in a corner or auctioned off to pay the outstanding dues.
