Reminded me of my Dad's stories at sea. He was a Merchant Marine. Oh how I wish he was alive to watch these videos/vlogs. He truly missed the sea. His first initiation into "rough seas" aboard a bulk carrier was during a nor'easter. Dad was prepared and somehow managed to bring coffee to someone on the bridge. Thank you for posting.

I was on a brand-new container ship back in the 80's we were behind a major storm off of Washington state coming from Japan when the company decided to make us go into the storm to make our destination to Long Beach on time. We hit 60-foot swells, the biggest I've ever seen in my 27 years as a Merchant Mariner. The ship was a 1,000-footer and we were following the waves, so the ride wasn't that bad, we were rocking but not rolling much, but the ship was twisting and making all kind of strange loud popping and screeching and groaning noises. The Chief Mate was not a happy camper. We didn't lose them, but we had about two dozen containers hanging partially over the side by the time we docked. The worst ride I ever had was on a flat bottomed 60-foot harbor tug in 30-foot seas about 60 miles offshore of California which lasted several days. The idea that I might die was a comforting thought I was so miserable, I'm pretty sure I couldn't hack it as a fisherman.

Great video!! Around Christmas 2017 I was working as a deck cadet on a icebreaker in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica. While we were in the Southern Ocean the vessel was in following seas and the ship was rolling between 30°-35° :) And when the ship's engines broke down during the voyage she even rolled up to 42° Something I will never forget ;) Really enjoy your videos, keep posting them. Stay safe and happy sailing.

Alright, I'll play your game: In 1996, the Argentina Star, Blue Star Line, British Registry, recorded +/-36 rolls whilst transiting from SYD to SF. I was told this was typical for that time of year, due to storms off the N. Cal/Oregon coasts. This went on for about the last week in a 23 day trip (@22 kt) and entailed wedging yourself into pieces of cabin furniture in order to sleep. (But it only enhanced the beer-fueled ping-pong games at various angles.) Nobody got hurt, and, looking back, it added to my education. JL

While in the US Navy stationed aboard a fleet ballistic missile submarine back in the day, on one patrol somewhere oh between 40°N and 50°N in the winter months, there we were poking holes in the ocean at a depth somewhere between say 150 and 300 feet at a whopping 4 knots (or as we would always say... 4 knots to nowhere). Even at our depth, the motion of the seas had been pretty heavy for the past few hour hours, such that during the previous meal we actually went a little deeper than our typical patrol depth to try to get a smoother ride to help out the folks preparing and serving the meal. Shortly after getting off watch, I was laying in my rack. The racks were three high. I was in the top rack, just laying there when we started to roll to starboard... and roll further... and further... and further. We kept going, and going, and going. They say that US submarines are designed (in theory) to self-right themselves. Well, it all happened really quick, but after reaching 39° to starboard the boat finally started easing back... thankfully preventing us from putting that self-righting theory to the test. Fortunately, there were some cable runs in the overhead just above my rack that I was able to hold onto with my hands and feet to keep from rolling out of my rack onto the deck. We were later told by the CO and Navigator that in their opinion, a rogue wave more than likely passed overhead. With our missile deck being long and flat, the passing wave more or less sucked onto the flat deck thereby pulling us along with it into a roll as it passed. So yeah... it wasn't very much fun while it was happening but in retrospect, it was pretty freakin cool.

Wow! That’s incredible. I imagine that was pretty terrifying at the time. Sometimes I get that feeling laying in my rack when we are rolling in heavy seas. It can feel like we are gonna keep rolling and capsize. It’s a weird feeling when you aren’t looking out at the horizon.

@@BryanBoyle We typically always had a pretty smooth ride once submerged. On the surface, not so much. Then again, we didn't spend much time on the surface. Just long enough to get to and from the dive point at 100-fathom curve, which for us leaving out of Kings Bay GA was about 60 miles or so out. But once we were submerged, the only time you ever really felt any movement was if we were doing what's called "angles and dangles." A submerged submarine drives like an airplane with banking during turns and angles during depth changes. So angles and dangles is intentionally taking those movements to the extreme with hard (25° or more of rudder) turns and "smart" depth changes with 25+ degree up or down angles and usually always at high speeds. It's a good way to see if everything is properly stowed for sea. But then sometimes we'd just do it for the fun and excitement of it. There are several vids here on KZbin of angles and dangles. lol

I’ve always been fascinated by submarines. They truly are amazing marvels of engineering. I hope you are proud of your service onboard! Submariners are one of the most important jobs in protecting our country from enemy threats. Thank you greatly for your service and the sacrifice you made by becoming a submariner!

@@BryanBoyle Submarines were fun and certainly different, and that chapter of my life is one that I am proud of. And I'm definitely proud to have earned my dolphins and become a "brother of the phin" even though some of my "brothers" irritated the living piss outta me at times. There were times when I was working on my submarine qualifications where I just felt completely overwhelmed and thought, "This is impossible! There's no way I'm ever gonna get this!!" Having to have operational knowledge of literally every system on the boat... from atmosphere control all the way through to the reactor, knowing from memory where every single piece of damage control equipment was and how to use it, being able to describe in detail how each system works and all of its key components... such as describing how a drop of seawater outside of the people tube becomes an oxygen molecule that the people inside the people tube breaths... it's a lot for a 20-year-old! But once my sub quals were done, life onboard was much more enjoyable despite being monotonous. LOL But I do have to say, and the entire crew pretty much felt the same, we never really looked forward to going on patrol. The refit period always sucked. That's roughly the first month that you're down on the boat when you're getting it ready for patrol... fixing things that the other crew said needed fixing, loading supplies, etc. And then once we got underway, it really wasn't such a happy time and loathing being on patrol really set it. LOL But after a week or so into the actual patrol, you got into the groove of being at sea and the rest of the patrol was bearable. Then before ya knew it... sixty-some days had passed and it was time to go home and let the other crew have the boat to repeat the process... and then channel fever set in.

I was in Trafalgar Class boats (Royal Navy) and I found that being in the f'wd escape compartment when surfaced in a heavy sea to be one of the most Goddamn awful sensations you could imagine. As the boat was pitching up and down, because there are no systems of active or passive stabilisation, you rolled side to side quite significantly. This resulted in the most stomach churning corkscrewing motion, bloody hideous! If you were doing a surfaced transit, well, it just had to be endured; but if the order came to dive the boat, ah! such bliss you could never imagine. Also, if we were down deep but were coming up to PD for signals, you could tell it was really bad up top if the boat started rolling with still quite a way to go. (Point of interest, we call our SSBN crews '4 knot fudge packers' although they don't seem to appreciate it.)

Have to admit I was once very tempted as a teenage lad. Some years later I met a guy from Liverpool who worked on a ship to shore radio station in Switzerland. He spoke fluent German but I could still hear his Liverpool accent. However I was curious to know how he ended up in Switzerland with such an unusual job. He told me in Liverpool he had struggled to get work so signed on to a merchant ship as a deckhand. The first ship leaving was all German crewed. Those that could speak English tried including him in conversation until he said, "look, I want to learn German but can't if you keep speaking to me in English". Sure enough by the end of the first voyage he had reasonable German. A few years later he met his Swiss wife, hence the move to Switzerland. Swiss speak German but also their own dialect, Schweizerdeutsch.

I personally never get seasick, but we do carry anti-seasickness meds such as Dramamine to help with that. I think the best thing to do is to get some fresh air outside or look out at a window so you can see the motion of the ship in the seas. Being inside without any reference to the movement of the ship can play games with your brain and make the sea sickness worse.

are those containers even strapped down ?

Yes they have twist locks on each corner that secure them to the deck and to each other. There are also lashing rods that cross each container to help secure them. Check out my video about cargo ops in port where I discuss this equipment and how it’s done!

we will change our heading if the sea and swell are bad enough, otherwise we just roll on our planned course as long as it isn't dangerous to the ship or cargo. Our comfort is secondary...

The containers are lashed down using various equipment including turnbuckles and twist locks. I have another video that outlines all of this if you are interested. It’s called cargo operations in port.

Thats pretty bad downwind list, sailing dudes. Those cargo ships have been known to roll over. Why not zig zag more going downwind in a strong following sea ?
