Worst weather I ever experienced, 900mb low moved by in opposite direction east of our position as we ran north off Cape Mendocino. Went from 50-55kts & 25-30 following to (guessing) 100kt+ &....I dontknow, maybe 50. Tow wire alarm started ticking off like a machine gun, chief ran back and got the dog in somehow...1/2 layer left on the drum...seriously. Took her down to dead slow ahead and hoped for the best. Brought everyone up to thewheelhouse with their survival suits in hand. Stayed that way for five hours, just watching. All ended safe with just some white eyes and shot nerves.
