Spent the last two years of my enlistment at Umpqua River Lifeboat station on the Oregon coast. We loved getting the call to go, saving life's rocked. Loved the badass winter storms too. Would wait for a day or two after one when the weather was clear but the breakers where still coming in big. We would get the boats underway and go have breaker drills. You could call it training, we called it fun. Never rolled a boat but came close a few times. These were the 44s, did have an older 36fter for a while. Took it out on breaker drills, had a breaker break right in front of the coxan flat (where the crew all stood). A friend up in the tower watching that day said "That wave broke right on the middle of the boat, the whole boat disappeared". I remember coming out the other side, up to my chest in cold water slowly running out the scuppers. Were we scared? No, we where to young, we thought it was exciting and great fun. Miss some of those days.

It depends on the weather and the person; more and more often I got seasick on the Victory. The roundish keel makes it yaw in following seas and roll when sitting in the trough. The pilothouse is more comfortable - if you are not prone to seasickness like I am (I injured my ears in 'A' school). The 52s are more confidence inspiring and I appreciated the engineering and design more than the 44s, even though it was much slower.

Most of this video was apparently shot off of South Beach near the South Jetty - worst/best surf on the Oregon Coast! (Except for Cape D). Really miss the Victory - she would bring you home no matter what - not particularly speedy, but as tough as they come!.

The USN is amazing at what they do, being gone forever, shooting missiles and big guns at stuff, deploying at a moment's notice, finest carrier aviation community in the world. None better. The white boat you saw footage of here? Victory, one of only four of these boats in the service. They are 52' long and weigh around 75,000lbs (depending on which boat you are referencing) ; they can tow up to 700 GTons and can handle, by policy, 25' breakers, 35' swells, 70kts of wind....while towing a vessel up to the aforementioned tonnage. I have talked to Surfmen from way back who ran these boats before policy restricted us to the previously mentioned limitations, and uh, yeah, all four of them have been out in seas your ship was in. And we don't sit inside of "the bridge" like the USN, we sit on top, or stand if you are running a 52', for as long as the case goes on for. My record is 28 hours as the Surfman running the case, 36 as a crewmember on another time before I was certified to run a 52'. The motor lifeboats in this video have no toilets, no coffee makers, no real racks to speak of......naw, we Coasties definitely do this better.

Now, take waves almost as big and under half the distance between crests. Consistently big waves with plenty of time to correct errors are good for training, that's why the NMLBS is at Cape D.

USCG 1972 - 1998 July 4, 1976, the ship I was on, CGC Comanche WMEC 202, went 20 miles off the Oregon coast for a sailboat that went out despite small craft warnings. When asked why he went out anyway, the sailboat skipper said, "Because I knew you would come out to get me if I ran into trouble". The Coast Guard used to have a saying, "You (the Coast Guard) have to go out, but you don't have to come back". Disney recently made a movie about a true Coast Guard rescue off the Mass. coastline in 1956. The rescue was the most heroic in CG history. The movie: "The Finest Hours".

Jeep is already taking heat for having a 4x4 named Cherokee. When I was on the Mobile Bay, we had to go out and "rescue" a few snow mobiles that got lost. Some calls were for them being on ice flows.

Interesting, some of the boats have "canoe sterns", maybe for taking following seas? I think these boats are designed to keep running even in a full 360 degree roll. These patriots have incredible courage. I think some of them train aboard the tall ship USCGC Eagle. Imagine crawling out on the yardarms to set the sails!

The US Coast Guard doesn't get the respect and attention they deserve. In my opinion, these folks are the cream of the crop!my hat's off to them, and the thankless job they have. I hope I never find myself in a position where I need them to rescue me but, if I do, I know they're the best in the world.

I love this! And I know a lot of Coasties that have done this. What I love even more is the when I talk to them after the first time they have been out on Lake Superior in a blow. There is nothing like it. There is no jockeying around and going into reverse to take the next wave, it's just one after another with no time to do anything except eat it.

Decades ago got stuck in a total white out including the bay turning to slush and add to that heavy fog - 3 of these ships and a helicopter couldn't find me. Did I mention the -10f temps? I always felt sorry for those folk having to give up because of the weather. I literally had to bump my way out of the bay and up the river. It was close to Atlantic City and they always used us for training. Great folk - PS I made it back to port. hahaah

@@SimplyDesignStudiosNewport Thanks. Hoping you get some more of your outstanding HQ drone shots. These 47's were being fielded a couple years before I retired. Never got to ride on one but that was outside my job specialty anyway. This 47's replaced the 44's which were a great "bathtub" of a boat but the platform of the 47 was a great design, faster, more capable and built like a tank. Textron Marine did an outstanding job building these. Can't wait to see your other videos. Great Lakes have many of these 47's also, but they don't get the pounding surf you see in the upper north west. They deal with 'confused seas" instead. 10ft+ confused seas will give you one helluva ride. Stay safe.

Tell me that was a buoy at 112 and not man overboard! I served in the Marine Corps. After my 4 years I joined the reserves. My drills were in Philly. We went to USCG Boot camp in Cape May a few times to train. I clowned them because of the comparison to Parris Island. Years later I was fishing 5 miles off Rehoboth beach in Delaware and got in some trouble. They saved my life. Not only the skills impressed me. The professionalism and compassion they showed was awesome, especially considering I did something dumb that could have been avoided. USCG....STRAIGHT ROCK STARS!
