This mornings webcam is like watching a train wreck, I went back and found the dingy at 1013. The 2 guys at the dock win the prize. big rollers, water shooting up through the deck boards!! They honestly put their lives at risk. I wish I could control the camera, it moves around on presets. Watched a powercat surf into the bay as well, cool stuff!! Pics below....

As far as charter companies providing resources, they offer captains and certified training courses. I've used day skippers twice, once with Footloose and once with TMM. Both times helped me and the crew learn our way around unfamiliar boats, was able to operate everything to ensure our charter started off on a good note. $$ well spent.
