"The dammed tin can destroyer was never meant for sea, you couldn't keep it steady in a lousy cup of tea" - from Destroyer Life by Oscar Brand -
That bow wave tells me I am glad I confined my love of boats to Poole Harbour and similar.
God mate I wasn't even born yet! Thanks so much for posting this. 5/5 for sure.
The sea looks very rough one reason you will no find me there, nice shot though.
A super 'action' shot but I like the feel of solid earth beneath my feet!!
