Graybeard: Monster Wave Stalks The North Atlantic
Bravo Patrol aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Yakutat. Thirty days patrolling the North Atlantic in winter along a square of ocean off Argentia, Newfoundland, charting icebergs. Seas running 20-40 feet. Two weeks with the hatches battened down without a breath of fresh air--the crew getting squirrelly. Thursday night, just past 2100 hours, the graybeard hit.
