Thanks for the video Capt. I have had the pleasure if you can say that of being in weather and seas of this sort. Dang hard to pour a cup of coffee.

Impressive, Glad I was not on that boat that day! I was in similar condition in Adriatic sea....but was on an aircraft carrier.... ;D ;D. With that said during that storm we lost our motorwhale boats that were tucked up under the catwalks nearly 70ft up. I surely wont forget that day at sea.

Happy New Year!

1961, Atlantic- ducking under a hurricane. Stuffed the bow- solid water down the decks-

USS Saratoga

It was 84f here last night, had to get up and open more hatches in the middle of the night.... I hate that.

Breezy today, the cold front has arrived.  Still have hatches open, but might even sleep under a sheet tonight.

1981 rounding the tip of Africa, waves breaking over the bow of the Eisenhower CVN69) the flight deck is 90' up from the surface.  There are just some things one will never forget.  One of the world's most powerful being tossed about by Mother Nature how ironic.  Marc
