"Hi All,
french built 2010 43 has been very dry down below but now a slow leak has occurred which is showing at the limber holes under the floor board in forward cabin. Bilge pump goes every 3hrs for 20secs. Not sure if it’s fresh/rain water or…"

Bill, you read my mind. No doubt they had some "laundry" to do.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the bodies natural response to broaching in a wave that big would to shit yourself. All that water in the cockpit probably helped with the initial clean up. I hope they had their boards in.

Dances thanks for the translation. I find it interesting that she did a 180 after the last wave engulfed them. Something tells me they had a bit of cleaning up to do after making port.

using a translation tool:
A big shock is what this boat was nearly 12 meters into the harbor on Saturday afternoon at the port of Zumaia. About seven in the evening and in the creeks of Orrua, many boats were returning from a day's sailing. The sea was calm, apparently by a lack of wind but the series of waves entering the bay were very large. Several of these vessels do not control the time of the series and were killed by the waves right in the mouth of the harbor. Ships with a good engine can draw all their power in cases like this but the big problem is for those with little motor yachts. This was the case with this boat called Urola. No well-calculated entry in the series and saw the middle of several waves. In the first as shown in the sequence of photographs to get a move but the lack of champa engine lets you at the mercy of the next to be engulfed by all the foam. When viewing the present situation and thought that the mast was about to dump, and was able to stand again into port after a big scare.

Carumba! I could only understand bits and pieces of the article and couldn't figure out from the pictures what he was trying to do. I assume he was entering a harbor with a rather large bar he had to cross. Either he was awefully gutsy, awefully stupid or just plain lucky.

Amazing images! Who said Beneteaus can't handle big waves? By the way, that's actually a Beneteau 46 (the 40 and the 43 only have one port hole aft of the main side window).
