I headed out into the Gulf for some sunrise photos. There was a tanker heading in... and the water was rough... 3-5' and confused. I came back in to protected waters to get a shot (hard to shoot when the boat was bouncing every which way)...
It was early, but plenty of activity. I listened to the tanker, the dredge in the ship channel, and a tug pushing a "red flag" barge (flammable cargo - 160,000 pounds of something) negotiate who was going to pass where in the narrow channel.
Interesting that the Gulf was rough, considering how flat the water in the ship channel and Laguna. The small bait shrimpers where dodging out of the way of the tanker and tug coming at them from different directions. But, everyone "played nice"... generally the way with professional captains.
