Massive waves a mystery at Maine harbor
Dockworker Marcy Ingall saw a giant wave in the distance last Tuesday afternoon and stopped in her tracks. It was an hour before low tide in Maine's Boothbay Harbor, yet without warning, the muddy harbor floor suddenly filled with rushing, swirling water.

In 15 minutes, the water rose 12 feet, then receded. And then it happened again. It occurred three times, she said, each time ripping apart docks and splitting wooden pilings.

"It was bizarre..."

Hang on! it happened in the middle of the afternoon yet no one had a video camera handy!?!

Sounds like a failed attempt to drum up some tourist interest. That's what you have to resort to when you clear the sea of cod!
