But...where did it go after it hit the buoy? Did a puffin colony in the Hebrides suddenly disappear 6 years ago?

I thought there was a buoy off the coast of Nova Scotia that recorded a wave slightly over 100 ft during the height of The 1991 "Perfect Storm"  

62' feet Hawaiian brah

I remember hearing the same thing. If any storm combo was gonna do it, that would be the one.

There was also a crazy PJ boat rescue off NC during that storm. IIRC, their visual reported similar peak wave heights.

62' hawaiin. Thats funny.

Pretty sure I saw a sig. wave height at 66' from one of the big cains a few years ago as well.

not exactly record breaking...or is it?: huh

That's an middle of the ocean wave not moving over an increasingly shallow or sudden bottom. Even then I would have loved to be at the spot where it did crest and throw over.
