I feel sorry for Maeno if he has to use this to get to the mainland!

 . That is incredible!

That's some seriously bad swell! 

Thay didn't say where it was, but if that was a car ferry of 15 - 20,000 tons then those rollers were seriously big. One thing I guarantee - all the loos are full of sick.... 

Star Trek used to do it better by 'wobbling' the camera !
Glad I wasn't aboard !
Cheers - Phil.

Good as a mersey ferry.....

Crikey.
If it was a car ferry I want to see the car deck.

I can't remember if it's Orkney or Shetland, but there's an area the ferries have to pass through to get in and out of the harbour that has 7 different tides crashing together. I can imagine that being a bit like that.

yep feel sorry for poor me. IN fact you have made me have flashbacks and trauma... I need some free figs to get over it.
Unfortunately or should that be fortunately it isnt ours. It is a cruise liner caught in a hurricane off the Bahamas.
We do in fact have hurricane force winds up here, the winds roll straight in off the Atlantic. highest recorded was   154 knots, Saxa Vord, 
Really felt sorry for these poor buggers:

you know it is going to be bad leaving Aberdeen when the master requests that anyone not having a cabin to find a safe place to lie down as they leave the harbour mouth... I kid you not!
to be honest though flights can be just as scary... imagine the dropship sequence from Aliens and you get the idea of what it can be like

Had a trip back like that from Guernsey once- if you looked out one porthole in the main lounge all you could see was sea and the other sky. Then they swapped over. I dont get seasick but I came close that day.

Wow! 

It's when they turn off the stabilisers to avoid getting them ripped off that I start to worry. 

Force 10 gusting 11 tonight. Tesco have chartered a C130 Hercules to get our food in.

Yeah, three nights at the very tip of Cornwall in a caravan have stopped me from sleeping much. 

Wimp - sleep in the Awning on top of a Yorkshire moor.
