BIG WAVES off the Washington Coast!
During a late October storm, both Quileute Tribe and Quinault Indian Nation’s Backyard Buoys reported wave heights topping 24 ft! In these extreme wave conditions, the Quinault Middle buoy broke free from its anchor and drifted north. NANOOS, Backyard Buoys, and our Quinault Indian Nation partner Joe Schumacker extend a sincere THANK YOU to the US Coast Guard Station Quillayute River for swiftly rescuing this buoy, and to Jennifer Hagen, another Backyard Buoys partner for the Quileute Tribe, for her coordination of the rescue mission.
