[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 3828397, member: 9018"] I am an old salty sailor. Looking at those videos I’m not impressed with any of the weather conditions. I’ve seen FAR worse. Bet the waves I’ve seen were over 40 foot. My ship was over 800 foot with an enclosed main handling passage that ran the length of the starboard side. I could see the passage way twisting. That was spooky. What I was seeing was ships that did not have proper ballast. They wouldn’t or shouldn’t have been bobbing like that. Little boats do that. Large ships shouldn’t. Like they were low on fuel or didn’t put enough sea water in their ballast tanks. Most of that was avoidable. [/QUOTE]
