This one has the worst case of 'overbite' I've ever seen.

Check out this video...looks like a 35' to 40' Motoryacht getting stuck under a bridge...first hand view too! Reminds me of that saying..."trying to stuff 10 lbs of crap in a 5 lb bag!". Close your office door before watching, my sick humour somehow found it funny to watch, but thats just me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eleCk3rWMQY | |

Hi all, long time reader and first time poster.
This thread has finally made me come out of my lurking in the hope that one of you can help me find a picture I have been looking for.
I remember seeing a photo of a 40ft (approx) sportfisher trying to go out through some large shore based waves, the photo in particular was of it in a vertical position with the wave crashing just over it's bow.
has anyone seen this photo or have a copy of it ? the original one i saw was actually in an advertisement for boat insurance.

Next to Sharky's recent "Splash Seen 'Round The World" photos, arguably the most famous 'ohmygawd' photo is Geo. C. Scott's "Mojo", a 81' Ditmar & Donaldson climbing up a big one: http://www.mv-dreamer.com/Mojo.htm | |

Truly an amazing photo of George C's boat going to battle. Patton approved!  | |

Does anyone know where Mojo is now? Did she survive the damage or was she scrapped?
