Re: Heavy Seas
Reminds me of a couple trips in the Navy, and one where we spent 4 days off the Farlons(sp) on a 120ft tug with a big empty barge just trying not to go backward to fast....Roger

Re: Heavy Seas
When I was a kid we were on a ship for a month from Australia to Greece. We caught a typhoon a day out of Hong Kong. Out came the barf buckets. I'd speculate that 90% on board were seriously sea sick. The waves were like mountains making the ship seem like a rubber duck. I thought it was magnificent and loved every minute of it.
I spent one semester at college in Eureka. There was one day when the waves were 30 feet and breaking way inside the jetty. Kind of like a rare day in the 80's when I watched La Jolla cove breaking all the way across and the old dudes out with their rhino chasers trying to carve a face. Or, the time in Guam in 1973 with typhoon surf breaking all over the island. The big stuff is awe inspiring and you remember those epic days. I love watching it from shore or seeing the pictures. Just knowing it can get that way makes those calm tuna fishing trips more special.

Re: Heavy Seas
Just when I start feeling comfortable going out to the rock pile in my boat, I see these pictures and I get that sinking feeling in my gut again.
