the sea

little fury	the edge of the raging sea	heaving forth
watching the waves	rearing surge	rough edge
noyo headlands	aft sails	blues
storm surf	winter surf at McKerricher cove	surf beyond the headlands

these wave photographs are all taken on the Mendocino Coast of California when big swells arrive from the gulf of Alaska. Some of the waves are twenty feet tall, others are the beachbreak inside a protected cove and are just a few feet tall.

the sails are of the Rbt. Seamans, a 140 ft brigantine, taken from the yardarm in calm weather in the Pacific
