Extreme weather on the Norwegian coast

[@perbertelsen1760]

Started my seagoing career on a 60 foot wooden long liner with a 50 hp single cylinder Wickman engine at the tender age of 15. Working on the slaughtering the fish while looking up at the waves was rough. Weather can be bad up north in the winter.

[@sabyegrp]

I've been on seas like that many times. No big deal..... Oh, did I mention I was on Aircraft Carriers? Sorry. Wouldn't want to do it on these tiny boats. Amazing seamanship. But I will add that we once took waves across the forward flight deck in the Sea of Japan. I worked on the bridge, and it was an intersting few days, even on a carrier.

[@Lellobeetle]

My father had a fleet of shrimp boats off the coast of Africa during the 70's and 80's. However, he insisted on having Norwegian captains for his boats and spent almost a month there recruiting and/or visiting his long employed captains and their families. He said he could understand (based on the dark weather) why the Norwegians drank so much. That is a value neutral statement. They are such good people. They were always extremely lovely when they'd visit the USA. Greetings to all from Pittsburgh, PA. USA ~Laura

[@moflataker]

Lellobeetle Well, Norway's captains is in world class :) We have been sailing rough seas since before 800 A.D. Stadtlandet or just Stadt, is one of the worlds most dangerous waters to cross... On the bad days, you don't even want to go near the ocean.... What I mean is that Norwegian seafarers knows what they're doing. Norway also have the biggest fleet of offshore boats in the world, all thanks to the many shipyards and oil :) And the Norwegians, the ones which rightfully discovered America first LOVES the US

[@Lellobeetle]

Håkon Mo Flataker I honor the skill of the Norwegian captains and crews. Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

[@moflataker]

***** drinking every day isn't normal in the Scandinavian culture ;) It's common on Friday nights and during the weekends :)

[@Lellobeetle]

***** I live in Pittsburgh now, my friend. I am a native of Houston, Texas and that is where we lived when my father had his company in Nigeria - he often spent many months straight over there working. Hard work dealing with an environment of corruption like Nigeria, you can imagine. Peace to you all.

Some pretty tough running, never a fun thing but many and most sailors have been through this sort of thing. The tough one is the vessel with the barge in tow, I have never had to do that and doubt if I would want to, especially in those conditions, excellent seamanship for certain.

[@steveturpin4242]

Tough little boat...rides well enough in these heavies. Thanks.

[@mikerockyislet]

I was there at fishing boat, same size in same year. Looks the same, except we did not have problems. But weather was sometimes very rough.

[@Lellobeetle]

Thanks, my friend. I wish he would have lived long enough to see something like this on KZbin. It would have greatly interested him. Greetings from the USA. Laura

[@kohlguy8656]

Amazing pics ! Thx for showing !!!

[@de5845]

Wat a filming superb mind blowing hats off

[@lynnmarie647]

I could NOT do that! Bless those who do.

[@thesevenseas]

Wow. Is it possible for me to use and share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Cheers.

[@j.g.p.2684]

Excelente video.Gracias desde Galicia(España), por compartir.

[@jrgensenbo2999]

Not that unusual in the north sea - our fisherman have to be tough here... 👍👍😉

[@tomlarson5486]

I got seasick for the first time ever, watching this. Insane waves and to think I'm a Larson.Uf da!

[@Chienqfume]

Norwegians are great sailors indeed.

[@happyfox711]

This would be a normal day at the office, without engine trouble.

Wow its a bit rough I must say 😨 greetings from South Africa. .....

[@ingvaldtangen8269]

Not so bad. Can often, during late autumn, winter and early spring be a lot worse out there. But one get used to it and learn to appreciate the brighter and calmer summer months even more :)

[@ih302]

Are those 2 stroke Detroits I hear?

[@najobe4]

DAMN. that is rough seas.. I only hope that no lives were lost...

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

What are all them on the cruise liners moaning about? They should try this, PROPER rough weather!

[@DATTEXS]

Hur höga är dessa vågor? Jag skulle vilja jämföra dem med de 9m höga vågorna i Finska viken :3

[@Zouldari]

I miss beeing out on This type of sea OHH its so much fun and it just feels out of this world :D (been on the sea since i was 6 months with my dad and mom :D)

[@SunitaGupta-ro8rd]

Lovely sea 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[@marymacpherson2250]

I love being out on rough seas and i have on some really bad ones and loved it, but this, no way would i want to be on a boat in those seas.

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

I love rough weather too but I never get to go anywhere, I'd love to be on that boat, that big swell looks glorious! It's always been far too flat calm on the few occasions I've been to sea. Though I have seen a really stunning bright red sunset out at sea in calm weather which was awesome.

[@keithsage1593]

Are you sure this is not Lake Superior?

[@agepbiz]

Hvis jeg noen gang blir i tvil for hvorfor jeg valgte å bli datanerd istedenfor sjømann kan jeg enkelt ta en titt på denne videoen. Lenge leve tastaturet! :)

[@ringandpinion3064]

Wow, that was a mean ride. After a couple of days of that you are so tired you can't even drink your coffee. Heck, I got tired watching it.

[@raywright2401]

what amazes me is how buoyant these fishing boats are without power. it takes alot to sink them!

[@miltonboy73]

J'ai mal au coeur juste à regarder ce vidéo là! Burp!!!... ;)

[@thomasucc]

That is a fair day in western Ireland :-)

[@hal9khal]

the name of this clip is correct, it is raining a bit in the last third of the video

[@tantejohan]

remember one time we were in these cind of conditions, it was bloody terefying, but we had a boat then that was abselutely imposible to tip over. (and yes it's actually inposible for it to tip.) so I felt safe. luckely. but till scary as hell.

[@adelarsen9776]

Er du ikke sant Jøssing og Viking ?

[@Lellobeetle]

My dad had ships like that for commercial fishing in the Caribbean and off Nigeria. But, no matter what he insisted on recruiting Norwegian captains.

[@abrahamdozer6273]

The following sea (first trawler) certainly helps.

[@cloedythemedium]

boats been nearly like rolled around in these waves..like the rescue boat seemed more in struggle then the other one...I know sea well too...and it's can get pretty rough as stomach goes up and down by each wave hit..lol

[@granskare]

looks a bit rougher than Lake Superior

[@fatibociftlik]

😬 thats amazing

[@4133EWvianen]

It is every day like that

[@JoachimPetersson]

Wow, de kallar jag stora vågor!

[@RobG001]

Nope, just nope. Absolute respect to the men & women for whom this is just another day in the office. Legends every one of them.

[@MonthlyFails]

Hey Harry Wahlvåg , do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) :) Cheers, Felix

[@Norwegian733]

Fake title. No extreme weather in this video.

[@chena3]

looks like some nice rolling swell nothing breaking or blowing about fine fishing weather..

[@jackmatsobanenyanda6818]

God really has created big things, what makes the sea to boil like these,is it something underneath or something above?

[@Emulen2]

What the hell is a small boat like that doing out in weather like that? I have fished on bigger vessels and we would never go out in weather like that.

[@fatfuckhatesyou]

+Emulen2 The weather around these coasts can change from sunny to this without warning in a few minutes. The time it takes it to get home is enough for the weather to change five times.

[@Emulen2]

i have fished up the norwegian waters for quite a few years, and there are still weather forcast´s you can look at to get an idea of what weather you will encounter.

[@fatfuckhatesyou]

Emulen2 I worked 11 years out there on my fathers ice breaker. We usually checked 5-6 different forcasts before heading out but still some days you went below deck in sunshine and came back up into thunder and pitch black skies in a matter of minutes. At least when you are up north. We went out in December once to make a path for a research ship and it was -19 C and calm waters, then the black skies ( not in any forcast) came rolling in and in about 20 minutes we had to call in the SOS when the temperature had dropped to -35 C and we were taking in water from the high winds. Then about 50 minutes later it just passed and it was calm again. Three hours later we were busting ice further up north in the sun.

[@Bubajumba]

Welcome to Norway

[@CristiVlacicu]

I miss the Norwegian coast :)

[@sonnysalim5757]

Big fat waves are dancing

[@MrRandomFraps]

0This just looks like normal weather to me. Been out fishing in a lot smaller boats than that in much worse weather.

[@songsmith31a]

"For those in peril on the sea! = so go the words of a famous hymn. And one can understand their origins when viewing these scenes. The North Sea is surely a fierce "training" ground for seamanship in extremis and the Norse people have their experience to fall back on.

[@frankdrebin8785]

They are too close to rhe coast. Looks rocky.

[@Rep0007]

WA WA. It is extremely wet. AND DANGEROUS.

[@Sirbadone]

Breaking windows in that type of seas is dumb. Why did they break them?

[@paulsmiddy5124]

You don't mess with the sea have respect.

[@happyfox711]

The same reason they're not still fishing, they lost the engine more or less.

[@genelectricrus]

I do not found some extremely dangerous here. Sea is always dangerous even without waves and wind. Here is large waves and strong weather (about 8 bft?), but it's not extremely - waves and wind is a normal for any sea and ocean, it is a usual life of many seamen.

[@happyfox711]

You don't have a clue, you DIE without an engine in these waters. Many fisherboats go down exactly for this reason. On the other hand, if the boat was working ok, they would keep on fishing.

[@happyfox711]

@Ace of Spades Ehm, read again - bft is not feet.

Holy crap!!!

No good for me I'm afraid. I got seasick just watching it.ill stick to kayak fishing in the bay

Next time someone complains about the price of fish show them this video. Then ask them would they fancy to this job 🤔

Well, that's not normal weather here off Long Island Sound where I live in Westchester County New York. The water is usually pretty calm out in the Atlantic ocean off the shore of Fire Island and Jones Beach.

[@robinchwan]

Jay Ritch that's just nice fishing weather! now if the waves were taller and alooooot of rain and thunder... that just means thor is wishing you well on your fishing trip :P
