Seas that roared up to 20-feet kept most boaters off the water Friday, but the rough conditions presented the perfect opportunity for local U.S. Coast Guard members to hone their high-seas skills \u2013 and certify a new heavy weather coxswain.<\/p>\n

Station Manasquan Inlet said its members trained on 47-foot Motor Life Boats in 20-foot seas off Point Pleasant Beach on Friday. The station staff posted numerous photos on its social media accounts showing breaking waves and rocking vessels.<\/p>\n

The foul weather came at just the right time for\u00a0Boatswain\u2019s Mate Second Class<\/span> Vaughn Yarnall, who the station said earned Heavy Weather Coxswain certification. A heavy weather coxswain is trained to perform risk assessment, basic engineering casualty control procedures, advanced operating skills for heavy weather boat handling and towing on the 47-foot Motor Life Boat<\/a>, a vessel designed to self-right within 10 seconds of capsizing which can be used in hurricane-force wind conditions.<\/p>\n
