One pair was whisked aboard a coast guard chopper. The news film made the blog rounds. They said the waves went up to 10 feet. The closest buoy was about 10 miles away on south San Juan Island, in a much more exposed area to the fetch, it reported waves up to 5.9 feet. Like Craig said, pucker factor, works every time.
