5 SHIPS VS BIG WAVES

2 Nautical Miles Per House? A new term I am not familiar with.

Imagine being so gullible that you believe that human beings can change WEATHER.

Imagine being out in this sort of weather, absolutely terrifying! Amazing video :)

Thanks for sharing this! There is a whole other world out there to explore and it is awesome to get to experience a little of your latest adventure. We are so very small in this beautiful world.

Every time I see videos of ships in seas like this I am reminded of the story of one of the Queens carrying a division of American troops to England prior to D-Day which hit a rouge wave that broke the glass out of the bridge windows. The commanding general and his senior enlisted men visited the Clyde shipyard where she was built to thank the builders for doing such a great job in her construction.

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.

The first video of a trawler in some waves. I have worked on a trawler in the North Sea when i was young, and the waves on this video are not "big". Watch videos of waves in the north sea in the winter storms, then you will see BIG waves.

I'm a Floridian, and spent lots of hours on our little 17ft speed boat in the Gulf of Mexico, but, I'm pretty sure that I would be puking my guts up, in THIS crap !! It DOES remind me of one of the flights I took across the North Atlantic (1 of the 12 flights I took over the course of 7-1/2 yrs) , probably when I flew back to the USA from Germany when I ETS'd from the Army, and had to process out of the Army at Ft. Dix, NJ I believe that it was on my return flight, to Germany, as my (then) new husband (now my X) was still stationed there, and, we were still living in our apartment over there. I hadn't been fortunate enough to get a seat in the smoking section, and had to get out of my seat and stand in an area inside the plane where smoking was permitted, next to one of the little kitchen areas, and, also an Emergency Exit right there. While I was smoking (seatbelt lights were turned off), I wandered over and looked out the window at the Sea below, and, it startled the hell out of me. I asked the 1st Stewardess that walked by how high we were flying, and, she answered, "About 37,000ft". I mumbled, "THAT can't be right !!" She overheard me and asked what I meant. I said, "We CAN'T be flying that high because I can clearly see the waves down there." She came over and looked down at the ocean and said, "Yeh. That's about right. They get 50ft waves up this far north". I guess that I had never given that any thought B4. The most of what I had seen on the East Coast was 8-10ft Seas, during storms. In Cali, it was different. That's a bigger, colder Ocean than we get in Florida. Our East Coast gets rougher seas than on the Gulf of Mexico side, but we spent a lot more time in the Gulf than we did in the Atlantic. My aunt & uncle lived 2 blocks away from the beach, in Flagler Beach, where they retired. I've never cared much for swimming over there. The undertow is a lot stronger and there was oftentimes nasty rip currents; I almost drowned twice over there. My favorite beach is down around Sarasota, in the Gulf, the seas are not as high and the undertow isn't as bad. In Sarasota, we would also oftentimes see Dolphins swimming nearby in the Gulf; we seldom saw any at Flagler on the Atlantic side, which was also at least as hour or more drive time NORTH of where Sarasota is on the opposite side of the State.

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.

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

Nothing unusual here, typical weather endured by many a sailor.
