ADAMANTIOS KORAIS. : Rough sea

[@Sailor376also]

Brilliant ship handling. The team effort,, stunning work. This is as high art. Posted 7 years ago and still breath taking to watch.

[@AA-69]

Have you ever tried watching paint drying. ?...if they had taken any longer the med would have evaporated. !!!!... British captains use engines and thrusters....Greek cabin boys use winches. ...very amateur , They need to go back to school. 🤡

[@Sailor376also]

@@AA-69 I wonder how old the footage is? It looks to me like he maybe has bow thrusters,, I think they did that with twin screws and winches. Better than I could do it. Then again,, I am a rag bagger,, single under powered screw with feathering blades. (Meaning reverse is not a certain thing. You use prop walk to help swing the turn.) You are absolutely correct,, thrusters fore and aft would make that a lot easier.

[@2007Gelin]

I'm a Turkish sailor who visits Greek Islands very often with own yacht; every time a ferry approaches the harbor I get up and watch the whole process with joy and respect. Greek commercial captains are extremely skillful. Congratulations!

[@abbaskhan-jy9bp]

Wow pls send me your own video if possible i wana see this all process.

This docking & load/unload process looks beyond the words... What a skillful Captain and crews of this ship! Amazing! Much respect ✊ for whoever they are and personality I love & respect Greece for many reasons ❤️

[@dhmik1]

The Greeks have always been a nation of great seafarers with outstanding seamanship. The risk of the sailors is not for fun. They know what they are doing!

[@truckertom3323]

My respect to the Captain and his Crew, also all concerned on the Dock side, for securing the Ship.

[@emmginn8244]

Wow that is amazing maneuvering, didn’t realize that part of the process for Greece to receive the necessities. God keep all the crew and onshore assistance safe.

Greek captains are sailing on rough seas for centuries. Respect.

Correction: Greek captains have been sailing on rough seas for centuries. Most Captains are captains for maybe 20 years. Some good, some not so good.

[@Leonardomourao]

@@craiglist879 Thank you for your correction. I am not a native speaker. :-)

[@stefanschwinghandl6138]

chapeau, chapeau. Bei so einem Seegang rückwärts mit dem Heck anzuliegen, das ist Können. Wahres Können. So was habe ich noch nie gesehen. Dem Kaptitän und seiner Crew ein dickes Lob.

[@wfmk]

As a Manxman who lives in the middle of the Irish Sea, much rougher than the Aegean, all I can say is that you Greeks are the greatest. No way we'd try that. Respect!

[@dinos9607]

Greek captains shouldn't have to have to try that but they have to work under such conditions with such infrastructure. This is what the video description says in its Greek part, above. Now mind you, the Aegean Sea is very tricky. It is not so much the size of waves but rather the unpredictable currents that do the harm. Experienced sailors from all over the world and most notably from Greece itself have been lost for underestimating what they could think of as a mundane "wavy sea"'.

[@davidgriffiths7696]

It was more action packed in the old days Snaefell Tynwald Ben-my-Chree. But even 30 years ago, there were adventures to be had (tempting to say riding the Manx Maid), turning in the harbour before the new breakwater was built watching the wooden plank decks heel over at 30’ to the green water over the big rectangular windows at the bottom of the slope, big stacks of plates smashing, toast and butter, cup of tea. Climbing up the ladders inside the funnel and pushing up the trap door. Great days.

[@AA-69]

Do you not get a sore bum. ?

[@bealtainecottage]

Great Captain and crew, especially the harbour staff, brave and bold men...though I felt sick just watching it!

[@georgezaharoff]

A+ Captain! The Greeks were born to do this! Really incredible to see this (and to hear the conversation of the person who filmed with another). Loved the waves splashing, the music and the wind hitting the speaker discomforts the listener just enough to make you feel you’re there risking your own life like these people. Like a Hollywood film, but real life!!

[@donjensen785]

I don't know why they would even attempt this. Incredible job by the captain and crew.

[@VMKinnovations]

Because they are Greek with real balls between legs...not pusses

Grande Capitano e bravi marinai, sempre emozionante, per me, che amo la Grecia, vedere immagini talmente "vere" e non i soliti, (stupendi) tramonti, su villaggi a picco sul mare...

[@nancydeis7121]

That was frickin amazing. I have no idea how difficult it is to drive ships in calm let alone fighting all of that. I do know how to drive pleasure craft (small one) and docking that in a high wind or storm is crazy and can cause so much damage if you do not know what you are doing. So standing o to the captain because he deserves all good things for that move.

[@maciejradzinski]

i have to say that good job Captain and Bravo two time but hi is not alone ... if you visit the engine room at this time you will understand for the tension that is there to keep all the machinery’s in good order and to be ready for the next command from the bridge . The Greek Captain are the most skillful on maneuvers . Thanks to the Crew included the Captain the island have provisions and connection with shore . Bravo one more time

[@roderickmchardy3650]

i was just thinking that,, of course the captain did brilliant but there was a lot of good team work , on the bridge , in the engine room , on the deck and even some good work from the guys onshore,,, jeez, can you just imagine that in an english harbour ( or prob an american one ) the whole crew would be in jail...
