Downer on the trip...on Friday evening we motored 40 miles to San Clemente Island to get out of the wind, and found blessed calm on the lee side so everyone was actually able to sleep, and the pukers were able to stop puking.

SCI is a marine training base...no trespassing on the island.

The next day we moved back offshore to fish, back into the massive seas, and noted a few duos of marine choppers zipping around, we assumed they were training missions.

Unfortunately it turns out they were on a rescue mission, and a handful of marines and sailors lost their lives.

Like I said, those seas were fukked. Tragic.
