maximus Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 bad weather at sea...note the pic that has a 100 footer in it...wave smashed in all half the bridge windows...some old black and white navy pics too
samb Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Makes me kinda worry about the cruise next month... Hurricane season wont be for another month or so though.
ChanceSchmerr Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 The pic halfway down with a Canadian flag flying proud is a Canadian MCDV - Marine Coastal Defence Vessel.....basically a minesweeper. the reserves use them around here.
tugboat Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 ...The seas were angry that day my friend... The worst I was ever in we had 50' to 55' seas and chasing a container barge we lost for 2 days. We finally retrieved it but not until about $190,000 in damage was done to the tug and barge. Not bad considering it was going aground if we did nothing. I was running as Mate at the time on a 100' tug with a north sea bow on it. (thank God)
jsaunders9 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 ......brings to mind that Gordon Lightfoot song.
SandmanTR Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Oh my god. Makes me want to reconsider our yearly cruise. Those are some angry seas.

stargazer14 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 As another who is out on his boat a lot - those are a bit nerve-wracking! nice post.
