You are absolutely right. I've subscribed to her for a about a year now and can't wait for her next video to come out. I Hope you checked out the rest of her videos, they're a blast.

Fair winds and full sails,

I thought that you guys and gals might like a video that is made to be watched in the winter time...or any time. I know it's August but I think you'll want to save it for cold weather.   http://youtu.be/Y0MDZahm1LI

Thanks for the link, Pappy. I don't recall having ever heard Ant's story before. :)

Not sure if non-Facebook folks can see this, although it is marked as "Public", but - pretty good sized containership rolling in storm swells.

If I were on that bridge, I would have to get all that paper off the deck! If you listen, you can hear another ship calling Mayday on the radio...

Yup, this non-FBer could watch it.

Funny how one's (mine at least)  senses can start to feel the rolling as if there on the bridge. That is weird to have all that paper flowing back and forth with each roll. Most are in their PFDs.

I wonder whether they might have had to respond to that Mayday call? There would then probably be another video about that...?

[Capt. Tony]

It's kind of reassuring that there really is someone on the bridge looking out.  But heck yeah, square that away!

All I get is a title page- is there supposed  to be a video??

[skylark]

Yes, you have to click on the image to start the video.

I had to turn off HD (high definition) to get it to work on my old laptop.

[CharlieJ]

clicking on image gets nothing. Oh well. I've always had problems with Vimeo. Just plain doesn't work well for me

[Frank]

Great lil video.  Thanks !

[jotruk]

wow that is a great video it may be short but it packs a lot of stuff into it.
