Just remember that the millions of boaters who were there on the nice days didn't think there was anything worth recording.

There is a sport salmon fishery at Buoy 10 that attracts gaggles of little outboard boats every season and literally thousands of sports fishermen and women and children spend most of the day bobbing around.

I worked for months on a dredge crossing that bar several times a day and never found much in the way of seas worth photographing. It is a dog with a bad reputation for barking but a prudent mariner is highly unlikely to get bit.

Here is a CG pic of a typical day on the bar during the salmon run.
