Point Panic - Captain Raf and Duke Caught Inside on "Big Saturday" March 20, MMX
Captain Raf and Duke are taking out a group of tourists on their 40' sailboat for an ash scattering ceremony in Waikiki Harbor when a huge set rolls into the channel, outside the harbor buoy. With no time to avoid the waves, Captain Raf faces the swell head-on while Duke holds onto the mast for dear life!

this one on Qld news,
^^^^^^^ Why did I have a vision of Downwinder at the helm in his zebra skin boardies surfing that big bitch
This is the same spot taken last year and the second photo looking straight out at the body surfing only wave.
So, is this an example of snaking by the yacht or does the yacht have right of way on the wave, seeing the yacht is onthe wave first. It does seem a little drastic to have to get a yacht out to catch a wave instead of a Stand-up. makes you wonder about what sort of quiver the yacht owner has though!
.
I did notice that the yacht appeared to be outside of the channel but keep in mind that in Australia and in the US we adhere to the IALA Buoyage System under which positioning of channel markers is based on the direction of the incoming tide not the direction of entry to a port.
I am not familiar with this location but the video is obviously taken from land and the green buoy is quite close to the land.
This seems to indicate that this particular channel has the incoming tide flowing seawards. Unusual but not uncommon.
There are several entries to Waikiki Harbour where this video was taken so having a channel with apparent reversed marking is to be expected.
This is confirmed by the photo in the later post with the trimaran heading out and the motor boat heading in, both seemingly on the wrong side of the red marker.
In the case of a "Marine Incident", pleading ignorance of the rules will land you in gaol. Pardon the pun. Cheers Cisco.
Peoples lack of respect to the ocean never ceases to amaze me. Egged on by comments by the old biddy afterwards he will no doubt be taught some respect down the track. Idiot.
Cheers Cisco.
lucky!
