So much respect for sailors. They are as brave as astronauts in my opinion because they might as well be in outer space with some of these sea conditions... No one to rescue you if things go bad.
Except coast guards and other boats in the proximities, as is by international naval law.
Imagine you were in a ship in a storm 500 years ago in the Atlantic. These people were absolute heroes then.
My dad was in the merchant navy during WW2. He was twice on ships that were torpedoed and sunk, just getting caught by his ankles on one occasion as the ship lurched over after being hit. Then another time looking down the barrel of a German machine gun while they were in a lifeboat as their Captain was taken prisoner. After the war he was offered the chance to stay at sea with a job on the deep sea trawlers but he turned it down because he thought *that* was too dangerous!! That told me everything about the balls it takes to be out there making a living at sea. They earn every penny they get!
Don't forget to also give a big shout-out to all the engineers and shipbuilders who made these ships so sturdy!
Also, that people in the past ventured on these voyages in wooden ships with no motors, and in some cases without maps or instruments; just straight out into the unknown. It's always so crazy to me to think about it.
@@MusgraveRitual They had a much better skills at sailing by the stars and any other pointers (like weather changes indicating land etc) because it's what they had. Still it left a big uncertainty even if clouds didn't blot out the stars or heavy weather blocked any sense of direction while you tried to keep the ship in one piece.
And respect to all deep sea fishermen also, i never fuss when i buy sea food and it cost a little more.
Yeah but thats not the case for the MV Derbyshire.
Who makes this waves? Do u know??
Throughout this video, watching such huge ships, like the tankers, get thrown around like toys, i cant help but wonder how on earth the small wooden ships of the past managed to survive such waves, must have been terrifying.
Lol. They didn't.
I have always wondered that. But I'm sure many did not make it.
Same dude. I think they just hoped not to run into those conditions, though. I don't think those old wooden ships could have held up to half of these videos.
Displacement. These ships are displacing tens of thousands of tons. As such they plow up and through much more H2O. A galleon was 100-500 tons. HMS Victory is 2162 tons. But yeah, a lot of ships and sailors were lost. We have plenty of "retired" Spanish ships off coast here in Floriduh.
Don’t forget, Shackleton and his guys sailed a 25’ boat through the biggest waves he ever saw, and they lived.
this videos really show the reality of the ocean, no matter how big or strong we build things...the ocean just literally does not care about us, when we navigate it, we are literally at it´s mercy untill we reach land again...
I was hooked on Deadliest Catch. The seas those trawlers go through are incredible.
Number 5 was absolutely terrifying.
This is the exact reason that I will never get on another ship again in my lifetime. November 1966 I was on a troop ship heading for Germany going to stop in Liverpool on the way. The North Sea is a rough place in the winter months. I was never so sick in my life. I prayed just to let me pass out until we got there.
Then I put in a transfer for Vietnam just to get out of cold weather. So they saw fit for me to return to NY on another Troop ship. I said there ain't no way I am going back on a damn ship. So I went to Haun Air Force Base and it took me 2 days to hop a flight on a C-130 to the US. Yes it was slow but not as slow as a ship and I don't get air sick. It was different though, because it had web seating and it faced the rear of the plane. My wife wanted to go on a cruse and I said, "See ya when you get back"
Sea sickness is the worst. Even when there’s nothing left to chuck up your body keeps on retching. Gives me goosebumps remembering lol 😂
I remember being in the North Sea while I was in the US Navy. Very rough. We took rolls over 45 degrees from vertical - that is, we rolled over 90 degrees back and forth. I remember the boot prints on the bulkheads (walls) of the passage ways. Eating was a real challenge, but not because of sea sickness. We all had sea legs (believe me, you get used to it). It was that I had to hold up alternate sides of my lunch tray with each roll. I remember seeing slate-grey skies, then slate-grey water out of the port holes as we rocked back and forth. I had to roll my blanket up and make a "v" in my rack (bunk bed), so as not to roll out when sleeping. The North Sea is really something.
One hand for yourself, one for the ship.
port holes* lol
It's stuff like this that A. Makes me respect sailors B. Is exactly why I joined the Army. ;-)
I grew up fishing the North Sea with my Dad, it can be a very rough place, especially North of the Indyfat gas fields. Very often you can be watching the water roll up the wheelhouse windows while the boat shudders as the prop looks for something to bite on. Better ride than any theme park can offer! We would go most places in the North Sea in our boat a 60 footer, if the weather got bad it was an occupational hazard and you just punched through it. Good days gone now just like Dad, RIP Dad still miss you.
How did u even go to the bathroom?!
I served on a small frigate in the Navy, big waves like that are no joke. I remember the first storm I experienced during that time. I was 18 years old, I thought for sure we would capsize. But, nope still here lol. I remember an older pretty salty shipmate tell me “ you’ll be ok kid, just don’t spill your coffee.” Lol
My father served in the Navy during WWII and was in Halsey’s Typhoon. He often said that it was the only time during the war that he thought he was going to die.
A chilling reminder of the raw power of nature. This video is both terrifying and strangely beautiful.
I’ll keep these images in mind the next time I’m tempted to complain about my job. Being thrown around for days at sea by giant waves with the threat of drowning is definitely worse.
Hells Bells! Never ever would I want to be aboard a boat/ship in any of these waters. It really brings it home how skilled fishermen & sailors are & very brave too. Salute all you guys & gals that put to sea & live this life ❤
Salute to all those who work in the sea.
Same😢
Each one of these is terrifying to me.
That first fishing boat looked so small in those big waves.
Every ship fighting for their crew lives against elements in rough sea forces my admiration 🤷♀️ you are heroes ✨
We film some of the largest waves ever caught on camera.
We work with 2 North Sea oil platforms that can accurately measure wave height so no guessing or exaggeration.
Enjoy 🌊🌊

I once took an overnight ferry from the Netherlands to London. It was an exceptionally stormy night in the North Sea and the boat pitched and rocked in the high wind and waves. My friends and I had spent the evening in the ship’s bar, but we were all ordered back to our cabins when the pitching got to be so bad that furniture was sliding across the floor. No one was allowed out of their cabins for most if the night.
I went to bed and slept quite peacefully. The movement of the ship was like rocking in a giant rocking chair, with my head and feet going up and down. It was very relaxing for me - maybe because I’d had three or four beers. The next morning I found out that nearly everyone else on the ship had spent the night hugging their toilets; every got really seasick! With two people per cabin and bathrooms only large enough for one person to fit inside (almost like airplane bathrooms but with a shower head in the ceiling), it turned out to be quite the memorable experience for all my friends as they fought for their chance to get into the bathrooms! I never even heard my cabin-mate in the bathroom, despite him saying he had spent hours in there kneeling in front of the toilet. I was peacefully dreaming about happy things…
Lol probably a sailer in another life. In fairness sea sickness is brutal.
@@tomw6947 maybe I was a sailor. I’ve been on many, many boats - big and small - and I’ve never gotten seasick. What’s funny is that I don’t like boats! I hate feeling like I’m trapped in any sort of confined space with no safe means of exit. Airplanes are the same for me.
Those fishing ships are just so beautiful! The Lap Wing was especially gorgeous. I think fisherman have the most dangerous jobs of all. There's no way in hell. Those guys have to be so brave....tsunami 🌊 waves... 👀 What an awesome ship and amazing waves MOTHER nature.
I wish we could see them from a birds eye view. The waters do look rough but the size of the waves are hard to put in perspective from the captain’s view. However, the depth, fury and vastness of the seas are very obvious 😮 I love watching these!
You in G.I. Jane 2.
I used to love these storms when I was in the Navy-I was a lot younger and not so smart back then-and we did go to the very tip of South America-Punta Arenas Chile- and yes those are some rough waters-ripped our radarscope right off its mount!!-among other damage.
Sometimes I wish I can stop reading comments and watch the video properly.
I was on the U.S.S.Midway . In the early ‘70’s we were off the coast of the Philippines . We skirted a typhoon and it was quit a ride , in fact I liken us as a cork in the water . Our flight deck was 49 feet above the waterline and yet we had waves easily coming over the bow . There was so much water on the flight deck that with the pitching of the ship , the water on the deck were making waves .
Midway's armored deck was, in proportion 2 the whole ship, of a lesser freeboard, so she readily shipped green seas in storms. One of my closest friends was on that ship w/, or just before you, w/ plenty of distinct stories 2 tell...
I love to watch these videos to take me back to the end of '85 and beginning of '86, the north sea with the nato fleet, all frigates. Less than 400ft long and we encountered 40 ft seas for weeks. Took 47 degree rolls. No stabilizers because we just came from the Caribbean and didn't have time to dry dock. We just joined the fleet so all the other ships in the fleet had stabilizers. The most terrifying thing was on iceberg watch in the black of night, out on the bridge wing. The bow would go under, then a huge mass of water headed for you, have to duck behind the barrier and hold on until it passes, then stand back up and continue watch, over and over, almost rhythmic. Freezing cold with hurricane force winds. It was insane. The whole time changing formations and doing our war exercises. We were getting the crap beat out of us for months. I got tossed out of my rack repeatedly. In the few moments for fun there was a paper locker in the point of the bow that was particularly fun to try to stand in. One foot on the port side, one foot on the starboard side, and both hands on the overhead to keep your head from crashing into it. It was about as loud as standing next to a train track when we hit the trough. Wildest ride I ever had.
That's crazy! Glad ur okay! Lol
My dad is a retired Navy Cmdr. He was on, I think, a destroyer. The Noa? Anyway, he said when they had new sailors at sea who would be seasick, they would tell them to go to the front of ship (below deck) and that it was the best place to feel better. Apparently it's like the worst place to be if you are seasick! Not very nice there, Dad! Lol!
PS Looked up USS NOA and it was a destroyer like I thought.
No way in hell would I have put myself in that kind of da danger. NO way in hell.👿👿👿
I hear you, bro. November '77, 3 RCN destroyers crossing the North Sea after port visits, following REFORGER exercises. Big storm howled in from Scotland.
Our bridge was 40 ft above the waterline, and occasionally we were looking UP at the top of the next swell. Our wind vane was torn off and helicopters into the storm. The SWR motor had to be shut down. It was overheating trying to turn the dish against the wind, and failing.
The inclinometer bubble was buried on each roll. Several times we could feel her too close to the balance point for comfort. I wasn't the only one talking to her, to come back up.
We received a out half a dozen or so Maydays or Mayday Relay that night, with at least one ship, a vehicle ferry crossing from Denmark to Hull, sinking.
Seriously, can people really not experience sea sickness in these types of conditions? Full respect.
Massive respect to all seafearers out here
The first one, the Lapwing, was in no danger. A bit rough, but she was riding well -- very well -- her bow never goes under. Really splendid to watch.
Agreed no issues there been in much worse when fishing.
I've been in seas like that. It's terrifying.
the ocean is terrifyingly majestic... The bravest men in the world to be able to explore it.
I wish the Drake’s Passage videos showed the passengers inside those ships!
Cruise ship up the Alaskan passage, was out @ nite t'ward the windward bow (portside) north of Queen Charlotte I. w/ the seagulls (they appeared as twinkling
stars & turned N2 birds as they got closer); this 90Kton ship was tossing aside 3Kton+ slabs of ocean in a beautifully rough sea that nearly topped the bow; i love rough weather @ sea but felt pretty bad as that night i was surrounded by what sounded like motorcycles starting up - everybody else was puking ('keep going, but when a hard fuzzy thing winds up in yer throat - keep THAT, you'll need it, it's yer asshole')
I was on a Navy Cruiser that went through a storm in the Aleutian Islands and when dawn broke we found out that we had most of our hurricane bow ripped off in the middle of the night by a wave. That was a rough night for sure.
4:38 the guy on the bridge says 'Ooooohh' when he sees the massive wave approaching, then about 10 seconds later you can hear a can opening... I would do the same thing in that situation 🙂
DAMN !!!! those are some brave souls on those ships !!!
I live directly south of bay of Biscay and there is a very, very high waves in winter, not very far from here, at NW, about 500-700km, its have been recorded the biggest wave of the world by a buoy.
I don’t have many fears but… the thought of swimming in deep waters or floating in space freak me out!
@@nannerthepuss it’s not really even the monsters. Especially in space. it’s the massive size of the body of water and endlessness that freaks me out. Like I imagine that scene from interstellar when Matthew McConaughey flys into the black hole. Obviously it wouldn’t happen like that irl BUT if it did I’d die from shock and fear 😂
@@nannerthepuss: The ocean gets extremely dark very quickly. The depths are completely dark without a self introduced source like a headlamp or angler fish. Sunlight meets its match with the ocean depths. You can't and won't see any monsters until it's too late if you see one at all.
@@nannerthepuss: So are the ocean depths engulfed in utter and complete blackness.
You're like me. I like to know there is oxygen wherever I am!
You're not alone. That's like most people's fear. Loneliness is humans biggest thing.
Hurricane delta was really fun being on land. It wasn’t an evacuate type hurricane so we sat outside and watched it the whole time. It was crazy! There’s a huge oak tree in the backyard and the wind was so wild it looked like it was going to break. It got weirdly cold after it passed and a limb was next to my car. I think it actually hit cuz there’s now a mystery dent in the top of the trunk.
Big ups to alllll those working on the ships sailing these mighty treacherous waters. 👍🏾 not my thing...I truly commend water/ship workers cuz I've seen the results of rough high pounding waters 😯
Try sailing on an LST 905 (USS Madera County) on the way to the Phillipines in one of the baddest typhoons recorded in 1968. The LST is flat bottomed and best sustained speed is 10 to 11 knots... it was so bad that our ship started to crack like an egg, and yes, I have pictures. Below one of the cracks was a sleeping berth, one of the crew who was below that crack woke up to the light coming through the hole. I was a seaman on watch on the 03 level and I still remember the man coming and telling the Leutenant about his expwrience.
How terrifying! I just watched a video where the ship cracked (it was a huuuuge ship, very long in the front). So scary, hearing the guy sending "mayday mayday"!
How could I "try sailing" something in 1968?
@@suchabadkitty1293
Munch on about 4 grams of Magic mushrooms and that should just about do it for ya.
Say "hello" to 68' for me!
@@sanddabz5635 Pass.
I'm a Marine and back in 1980 I was on the LST (Landing Ship Transport) 1190 USS Boulder (for those that don't know, this is also a bow flat ship that sailed like her name. A boulder. I was on the way to Norway for my first NATO exercise. We hit a hurricane mid Atlantic and I literally would walk on the wall, run down across the floor and up the other wall to stay on my feet. We tied ourselves in the racks at night as I'm sure you know. Thankfully we didn't get a crack that I know of. Decommissioned: 28 February 1994
No matter what mode of transportation you take to get from point A to point B can dangerous depending on whose driving, flying etc.
One very wrong sentence: you do not want to sail large ways head on. The pitching will break your vessel. You want to take the waves at some angel. This induces some rolling, but greatly reduces the pitching stress obto the hull. You also do not want to have those waves too much from the side. But do you realize, how all the ships sail that horrible conditions some 30 degrees to the waves? There is a reason, as I said. Doing that right, and even turning a bit with the waves, saves these ships.
You are a large boat captain?
I only have some limited experience in small craft but I think the hardest part is picking the best angle - I seem to settle for 45' most of the time but I think it's really a matter of reading every wave. I worry that going over a giant roller crabwise imposes an awful twisting stress on the hull ...there is no ideal way.
I thought it was best to sail into waves. But the stress on the hulls is not something I'd considered.
@@matgeezer2094 It's known as 'breaking the ship's back". It happens when the wave is beneath the middle of the vessel leaving both ends suspended and unsupported by buoyancy . This can cause the keel to break resulting in the ship breaking in half.
@@Davidcallard Wouldn't it depend on size of the vessel?
Jesus those waves are scary enough in the day light. But just imagine them at night!! God bless all who sail at Sea 🌊
I can't imagine what it takes t become a shipwright these days!!!
Is shipwright even a thing today?
I can't imagine what the sailors from the 18th century dealt with in seas like these!
Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze me!
This is what it is…sailing in rough sea is always a chalenge. I have been sailing for more than 30 years and this is a great video of what is happening once in a while…
This is probably the Best Big Wave video I've seen so far! Very Grateful for the original content!💪
I found the rhythm of wipers rather calming. The poor Navy men on board.
This video shows us nature is everywhere.
Blows my mind how crazy some jobs are!
An excellent depiction of what it might have looked like for our ancestors on the Mayflower (and the subsequent Winthrop fleet). Sixty-plus days in a wooden cargo ship not meant for ocean use.
not to mention Noah :-))))
Ever seen down the hall of one of these ships as they go over the big swells ? You literally can see the ship flexing, fricken scary
Carriers @ least R bilt w/ flex zones; on the catwalk U can look down the flightdeck & watch it flex like the little hills in W Maryland
Although I don't have a huge amount of experience in heavy seas, I'm generally fairly comfortable in that sort of environment. I trust the people sailing the ship, and I trust the builders.....However, no matter how good a ship or a crew, nature can always do something unexpected! Nothing is more powerful than an angry sea!
It's the maintenance records, and retrofit overhauls to allow ships to carry more than their original specs, that you have to worry about!
One word. TITANIC. That says it all. Mother nature can't be tamed.😵😟😟😟
It can peel up the forward edge of an aircraft carrier flight deck if it can catch her riding down into a trough.
@@stevenweaver3386 I've read about that happening, it was in a fiction book (HMS Ulysses by Alistair MacLean), but that book was well researched and based on many factual events so I have no doubt that it's happened!
@24934637 I read that book, too. USS Valley Forge in 1959 had part of the forward port side torn away.
All the money in the world couldn't get me on one of those ships. Being at the mercy of the sea.
Hhhh ! Agree with you. I've been chief engineer onboard tankers but never faced such situation. I would never encourage young people to ne sailors & I regret being sailor
Well you’re on solid earth I assume so you don’t mind the earth quakes landslides forest fires volcanoes hurricanes tornadoes and on and on and on I assume just had to get it out
I loved being at sea in heavy storms, never slept better!
@@dundonrl That was because you were worn out by all the movement.
Seen 100 footers on Scottish oil platform in January 1996 , awesome power .
Our on site safety boat was 50 miles away !
I wouldn't wanna be in the north Sea on anything smaller than a destroyer. As a matter of fact I was on a destroyer in the US Navy and we got into some REALLY rough water in the Pacific. Thankfully, the ship ran a 38' draft so there was no way it was going over.
My dad was on the Uss Noa. He's way retired now of course. He was Lt Cmdr.
During the battle of the Atlantic the destroyer escorts has a worse time in heavy seas than the smaller corvette types. It was all about the destroyer's slender hull built for speed.
@@charonstyxferryman That comment is not relevant to my point. The slender hull of the destroyer made is roll like mad in a rough sea. The corvette was a little more beamy and thus more stable in the same sea state.
I was a destroyerman for most of my time, and often crossed the North Sea. One time we faced at least a full gale that gave us a wild ride. Our ship several times buried the bubble so deep we could feel her almost at the tipping point.
One of the smaller ASW frigates looked like she had been in a street brawl. Stanchions missing, several rafts on the signal deck gone, and twisted so much a crack opened up on the boat deck right above the galley servery.
@@julianstafford7071 float like a cork; tumble like a cork
Actually the worst thing a captain can do when heading in to heavy large wave seas is to go straight into them your always best to take them slightly abeam as this captain is, taking these waves abeam of starboard. Straight into the waves can cause far more stress on the ships keel.
They do not take the waves head-on in seas heavy enough to be dangerous to a given ship. They angle their course in balance between head-on pitch and sidelong rolls. It also depends on the frequency of the waves and the size of the ship.
Number 1...The "kattegat"/ Northsee.
I've been there a few times, once, passing from Denmark to Norway (Kristiansand) with aproximate 9 bft. The ship going 30 degrees from left to 30 degrees right. All cars within the vessel (it's a ferry) fixed with spectial ropes around the wheels.
Maybe 25 % of the passengers where NOT seasick...including me as a little boy of 12 years. I did not see danger because it was before the loss of the estonia (between Sweden and the baltics).
I found. The rougher the better. Loved it. The worst that I was in a sea state 9, 10 metre waves.
More power to all people who work on these boats & oil rigs.
Who cares
And to think about what they went through back in the days of wooden ship's crossing the sea's!!!...
And only sail power... yikes. Someone thought a canal through Panama made sense, but it was a deadly enterprise, too.
I think it's safe to say 95% of them didn't survive this.
This is awesome video …Appreciate your sharing😊
"Captain, we need a bigger ship!"
It's amazing how the birds consider it normal ops. Just another day. Nature is amazing.
The question I want to ask is how does these captains train for these conditions?
When I was in the merch. We past a fishing trawler close by, in heavy seas. She keeled over that much. We could see down it’s funnel
17:23
Not to mention there’s also the cold Antarctic Circumpolar Current traveling east through Drake’s Passage as it continuously circles Antarctica.
That first video of the fishing vessel in the North Sea reminds me of how the crab boats on “Most Deadliest Catch” are often tossed around like this on the Bering Sea. I’ll never understand how those guys on the boats in seas like that aren’t flying off the deck!
I am sure some of them get thrown over deck .
F**k crabs you want crabs go get them yourself
@@cynthiathomas404 that's a real good attitude. Damn
@@TimesUp777 I was basicly joking I just hate men risk there lives so people can have crabs I have a lot of compassion for men on the sea trying to make a living
@@cynthiathomas404 okay. I understand and wouldn't want to do it that's for sure.
Who else finds watching the ocean peaceful I like watching these videos
I can't imagine having this job..Respect to them sailors..💯
During WWII, the famous Cunarder “Queen Mary” was serving as a troop ship. Her maximum compacity was a mind blowing 16,000 people! And has never been topped. Anywho, the Mary that earned the nickname “Grey Ghost”. And was sailing through a very rough storm, when her bridge crew spotted a HUGE rouge wave that was bearing down on her port side. Her officers ordered “Hard to Starboard” but due to tiller commands means port. Even with this, it was too late. The ship rolled 15 degrees, 20, 25, 30, and kept going. And then, a deadly, mind blowing, 50 degrees. Thanks to her powerful rudder, and propellers, she returned to a even keel. It’s estimated that if she rolled another 2 or 3 degrees or so, she would have capsized, becoming the worst maritime disaster in history, with the loss of all 16,000 people aboard.
(just a little video idea)
And there is no video of this
Its astounding how high some of these waves get.
Although dangerous but still is exciting.
This is amazing may God continue to bless you the crew's are unbelievable all I can say is thank you
The Lapwing had her gear out - just a normal day at sea ....

Seafaring is a perilous occupation. Keep safe folks!
God is in control he has all things in his hand
This video's enough to make you want to never go near a body of water larger than a bath tub.
Wow what a ride!!
Awsome, number 4 was scary, was just about to google "bay of biscay" but then BAM! you guys post up a map with the location. Really love how you educate while you entertain. Top quality stuff, as usual, thanks again guys.
I have always found the Irish sea along the Welsh coast to be far worse than Biscay. Water is shallow and waves funnel up between Wales and Ireland.
Hats of to these brave men!!! Sailors mostly!!! Hats of to the engineers for building these scientific machines!! 😢🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
My husband was in the US Navy in the 80’s and has told me stories of riding out a hurricane for 11 days in the Indian Ocean where their Destroyer was taking green water over the bridge. Which basically means the ship was under water from time to time as they rode it out. No, thank you very much. I would not enjoy that at all!

I've seen the USS Eisenhower CVN-69 become a submarine in the North Atlantic!
You need the famous cruise that had all the people watching waves wash up and furniture flying around.
This is exactly why the open ocean and being stuck in it terrifies me.
4:56 😮
I’ve experienced up to 9m high waves on a cruiseship from Denmark to England 😅
REALLY SCARY
There is a universal prayer. It is the same in all languages. It is the same across all beliefs. It is the same across all of human history. It is the prayer of the sailor in a real storm. "Oh God, the sea is so big and my boat is so small"
The best parts of sunday school were imagining St Paul travelling about the Med in little 30-ton ships
@5:00- I could feel myself turning green just watching this!!!!!
Tsunami waves are not these waves. A Tsunami wave is a very long wave and travels as a compression pulse. Out at sea it would pass un-noticed. These big waves are short length, high amplitude.
Hats off to modern engineers 😳
Boss plz help iam very poor man shipping company jop
Wring
The 'nose' of the ship? really. Comments from an 'old salt' to be sure...
Ooh, it's like a ferry crossing to Saint Barts! (That's why folks put up with flying in!) Or maybe more like Inish Mor...
0:28 Denmark be like "Am I a joke to you?!?"
If also not the cold sea
After that voyage, I cannot think twice when writing a resignation letter.
Cant beat Scottish boat builders. Stronger than naval ships
That situation at 11min with the lightning storm.....Oh wow......WHEN does the alien abduction happen? Bound to be any second right? LOL.
Great footage! A+ narration,and script writing solid D- maybe some nice music playing quietly.
Storm's are scary especially when the super structure cracks
#8 was crazy....though i havent gone #7-#1 yet ..lol
Great vid. Thank you
I've been out in some rough water but nothing like this. Went out in the Atlantic with six foot waves and swells fishing for drum. Also road a jet ski on the susesquhanna river with two foot white caps. I hurt all over for three days after that ride!
Captains gotta be on the ball, you have to hit the waves just slightly Headon. Or they will flip you and down you go, the biggest ships in the world are like toys
this is very satisfying to watch. you dont have to talk.
