Storm Imogen on bord Epsilon Irish Ferry

Storm Imogen on bord Epsilon Irish Ferry 08.02.2016 10.29

I went to Ireland from Swansea to Cork every year as a kid in the 70's. If the sea was rough it was rivers of vomit on board. Still lovely memories though !

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

If they can't handle it they shouldn't go. It's alright for some, I wish I could go on plenty of proper rough sea trips, it'd be an adventure, my idea of a holiday, stuff the insane far too frying HOT resorts. The only times I've been on sea crossings it was far too flat calm and really crap, just like being on a great big oversize train! The only "rough" experience I've ever had was on the silly little mersey ferries at liverpool. February 1990 was the best time when there was a hurricane and they still ran the ferry and then you could get a rover ticket and ride it all day but now they don't go out when it's rough anymore.

And the vomit was flying horizontally!

On board the beautiful Innis Fallon? It passed my house every day, on its way to Cork.

[@timbodut3977]

@@missinformed9550 It must be lovely to live by the sea. To watch the boats come and go. I envy you.

[@missinformed9550]

@@timbodut3977 I always loved to see the Innis Fallon go by. She was a beautiful shade of blue with white stacks. Don't live there any more but love to visit. Live in desert now, equally beautiful and different.

I remember on the Sealink Earl Godwin in the 1980's out of Weymouth - Cherbourg, I was trying to play a fruit machine and was getting quite good at second-guessing the pitch and roll as we were in a heavy seas. I was 16 and won a tenner and shouldn't have been gambling. There was vomit caked on all the windows, door handles, tables. I usually get ill but not on that one for some reason. Maybe keeping your mind busy and not idling is a thing. Mind you it wasn't as severe as this footage but then the Epsilon is better equipped to get through it. Great footage, Daniel.

Thank you

[@JV-gr1rf]

Pity that poor houseplant. It's so seasick, it's literally green.

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

At least it doesn't puke all over the place!

[@alanchandler254]

Went from Liverpool to Dublin on P&O in storm Barbara,made for an interesting 13 HR crossing!!

[@Minnieslays2024]

Watching this on my way home to Ireland on the Irish ferry and it was a storm on my way to wales . This was very scary to watch

[@DougieF75]

On stenna Columba during hurricane Charlie - never forget it…

[@CB-sn4xh]

Imagine if that ferry had no stabilisers ? The old ones had none!!!

[@patrickwatters7555]

I always book a cabin, then you can be ill in private.

[@gilllford9423]

It's a wee bit choppy

[@Oakleaf700]

Wise move............

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

It's not just the size of the waves that matters, but the DIRECTION. If the waves are running broadside, i.e. ACROSS the ship's path at right angles then it's too dangerous to go out with all those vehicles on board down below as they could be all shoved over to one side which could roll the ship right over and take everyone on board down with it with little or no chance of escape. That's one of the serious factors that determines whether or not the ship can travel. Head on into oncoming waves is the safest direction. And if you think that's rough then you should see what happens in the southern ocean on the trips to Antarctica, down there it gets PROPER rough!

[@zweispurmopped]

That looks like carnage on the parking deck…

[@ChevyBM]

Those are some heavy seas

[@Michael-zp5px]

Went on this boat on the 14th feb 2020 a in storm Dennis and the front of the ship flew up in the swells and smashed back down luckily we got a cabin but we could hear everything below us came back 21st feb 2020 on the w.b Yeats much better boat in bad weather as the epsilon was cancelled due to bad weather but on the wb yeats we felt nothing wouldn’t recommend this boat whatsoever as there is nothing on board is a very small and simple ship

Hello DANIEL Carstea, is it possible to contact you regarding this video (i.e. via email)? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible to discuss? :) Cheers, Felix

[@janbanan7768]

Why did they leave port in first place?

[@banpowel9784]

It was ferry stormy 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Oakleaf700]

The passengers weren't feeling ferry well, either..... 🤢

[@Philip02K]

How did cars fair

[@Planestrainscomputer]

must have been very unpleasant

[@ralfandrebarranco1309]

Você deveria ter filmado várias horas...

[@thomasjones8648]

Huge waves

[@Oakleaf700]

Only the plant was not seasick that day.

[@MoreKnowledgeShorts]

I hate the epsilon, literally tiny about 30 chairs and about 2 staff members, not to mention the dog area is horrific, I would try avoid it at all costs if travelling with dogs

[@lukeyboy1237]

Rip the plates

[@Oakleaf700]

ugh...that rolling side to side..

[@majorpygge-phartt2643]

You call that rough? Try watching some of the big wave master videos, they go out in PROPER rough weather!

[@action963]

It's rough for a car ferry, thousands of euro of damage was caused to cars on-board

[@imirosephillips]

That's my name 😄😄😄😄😄

[@beyondonethousand]

Imogen Rose They named a storm after you. How cool is that. As long as they didn’t name you after the storm.

[@banpowel9784]

Storm in a tea really ☺️don't know what all the fuss is about

It's a car ferry, not designed for rough

[@Iamwangdong]

Most of the Irish are probably drunk on that ferry anyway. It was probably a smooth crossing for them

[@benbielenberg4611]

Fly Ryanair.. It's cheaper and Faster 👍

[@MrDanielcarstea]

Good luck taking your car on board :))

[@Ciaran100]

It is so much cheaper to fly and higher a car when I get there than take the ferry. Eg. Ferry quote > At least £400 Fuel to the port > Roughly £80 Flight > £.19.98 Car hire > £15 per day (7 times 15 = £105) Fuel (in Ireland) > £20 Train ticket from my station to the airport = around £7

[@davehowe4714]

How much do ryanair charge to take a truck?? 😂

[@isaac_fuller_]

And probably more dangerous 😂

[@enochpowel4580]

if you like being a sardine i guess fly with ryan air

[@MrDanielcarstea]

Follow this one. It describe better what we felt: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKecgqJ5bdOerLs
