Seas yesterday were 10-14 feet, just a bit less today. Spotting someone, no matter what color the vest, among whitecaps and waves that size is very difficult.
gps embedded lifevests anyone?
Hmmmm... Due to winds in the area or far offshore? That's not just 'small craft advisory' time, that's got to be 'small craft warning' time (or perhaps even gale warning), isn't it?
