Man thats rough..
Reminds me of Halibut fishing in Alaska!

[grantar2]

Reminds me of the legend albacore run.

Also shows the difference between a cruise ship and an ocean liner.

Damn! I bet there was alot of chumming going on that trip!

Is that Carni and Joey up on the bow grabbing their hoop net lines?
You two are "hoopin'studs"!

When in the Navy many years ago, we were in the pacific and encountered several severe hurricanes. Absolutely awsome... can't even walk without bouncing from bulkhead to bulkhead. The bow must be 50-60' high.

Here's a pic of the USS Ponchatoula, an oil tanker, 950' long, carrying 9 million gallons of av gas and oil.



Note the 3" gun turrets just behind the bow.

Here's a pic in a storm, note the height of the wave generated by the bow going into a swell.



And, sorry about the quality, here's a pic of the spray generated by the bow hitting a swell. The entire front of the ship was underwater and the spray covered the gun turrets and flybridge!



Eating was impossible and many of the crew were seasick! Makes life interesting, eh?

Brad you need to stop posting stuff like that. Makes me regret retiring.

[Carnivore]

Ya I would be driving and Joey would be in the bow yelling at me to BACK UP, BACK UP!!!

Great video showing what combined seas do. Hit front and side and you get that rolling effect. Needs to split that more to starboard and minimize that pitch and roll. Would suck being in the pool right then though.
