Those are some pretty sick sea conditions.

Whenever I read stories about ferry boats capsizing I pictured a crummy little tub going down in average seas. Now I see how a big boat could loose it in the ruff stuff. :eek:

Re: Biggest Apache I've ever seen!
 
To be totally honest with you, that ferry would be a fun ride! Assuming you didn't die.

However, that cruise ship looks like it could kick your azz rocking side to side like that and listing to the starboard so hard.

Re: Biggest Apache I've ever seen!
 
The cruise ship looked afraid of going down, not even trying to make progress. The Ferry looked like a 47' Apache with triple 1300s glad to see it finally got a little rough outside the inlet. Time to play.

Wonder if that ship has rev limiters for when the props come up out of the water ...

Nort -

I thought the same thing. According to someone on another site:

...Voyager lost power to one prop during a storm in the Mediterranean on Feb 14, 2005. Some of the rolls to starboard look to be more than 30 degrees, quite a mess on a passenger ship. Later, several passengers praised the crew for their professionalism; everyone knew the ship was in serious trouble, but they felt the crew were handling the problems and the passengers were kept well informed....

I hear you Smitty, spent 7 years offshore and consider myself very lucky to have survived the North Sea, South Pacific and worst of all the Gulf of Mexico offshore Louisiana in 1980.

F that

I was on a 670 ft long by 96 ft wide Navy AOR,USS Milwaukee,it was a deep draft ship (36 ft) with a fairly flat bottom. We got our arse kicked in the med during a bad storm. In the midst of the worse part of the storm the capt decides to swing the ship around and run in a different direction. The waves caught us wrong and pushed ship into a real hard roll,before it recovered a second wave caught us and rolled us over further. At that point we lost fires in the boilers,all fwd propulsion,all power etc. We got tossed around at the mercy of the storm while getting everything restarted,it wasn't pretty. The waves washed a 40 ft motor whale boat and the captains gig (36 or 42 ft motoryacht) plus a 20,000 lb fork truck right off the main deck. Had quite a few minor injuries,a few bad ones (one guy got his leg cut off between some fork trucks that broke loose). I was down in the engine room,we were literally hanging from valve handles with our feet just about in the air as the ship took a 47 degree roll (later the engineers from philly flew in to france and said the ship should have went to the bottom at that angle). There were guys who walked off the ship when we pulled into france for repairs that kissed the ground,had a 1/2 dozen or so that went awol,said screw it they were never going out to sea again,they would rather go to jail if they had to:eek: . And my wife can't figure out why I won't shell out a few thousand to go on a cruise:p ,Smitty
