      Probably the heavy sea. Don't sweat it, it happens to everyone, even experienced sailors. We understand completely. No harm done and no curry wasted.

    SJT, you know what I like best about your videos ? You’re always so polite as to not record when many people are around. That a very respectful thing for you to do. I also love your sense of humor. In the late 70’s, my uncle was stationed in Okinawa. I remember post cards … so beautiful. I just found your channel a month ago and I’ll bet I’ve went back and watched a years worth of videos ( always hitting the like button). I noticed today that I hadn’t subscribed, so … as I pressed the subscribe button, I was singing Sunflower 🌻. 😊. Thanks for the wonderful videos !

      In general Japanese people do not like having their picture taken, esp if you don’t ask them first. It has to do with stealing their soul.

    I went on a cruise from Texas through the Gulf of Mexico with stops in Belize and the Caribbean. We were outrunning a tropical storm behind us. The first night we experienced huge waves. They had to gather passengers on the pool deck because tons of people were getting seasick, it was a site to see with women in evening gowns and dudes in tuxes. Needless to say, the only ones not affected were us partaking in heavy drinking.

When it was sold to Korea, the side door was removed and its capacity was increased, which was one of the causes of the accident and many innocent people became victims
