So here is the passage:
Paragraph 2. Melissa "Scoot" Atkins went below into the Old Sea Dog's tiny
galley, moving down the three steps of the companionway,
closing the two solid entry doors behind her, always a good
idea in offshore sailing. The three horizontal hatch boards
that were on top of the doors were also firmly in place,
securing the thirty-foot Baba type against sudden invasion
of seawater.
Paragraph 3. Rogues and sneakers have been around since the beginning of the
oceans, and the earliest sea literature makes note of "giant"
waves. The U. S. Navy manual Practical Methods for Observing
and Forecasting Ocean Waves says, "In any wave system, after a
long enough time, an exceptional high one will occur. These
monstrous out-sized waves are improbable but still possible and
the exact time of occurrence can never be predicted." Naval
hydrography al studies indicate that waves 15 to 25 feet high
qualify for "sneaker" or "sleeper" status; the freak rogue is up to 100 feet or over. As waters slowly warm they seem to be occurring
more frequently. In 1995 the Queen Elizabeth 2 (the QE2), the
great British passenger liner, encountered a 95-foot rogue south of
Newfoundland. More than 900 feet long, the QE2 rode over it, but
her captain said it looked like they were sailing into the White Cliffs
of Dover.
Paragraph 4. Sullivan Atkins, Scoot's oldest brother, was steering the
cutter-rigged boat on a northerly course about fifteen miles
off desolate Cabo Colnett, south of Ensenada. Under a
brilliant sun, the glittering blue Pacific rose and fell in long,
slick swells, a cold light breeze holding steady.
The question is the picture :)
