• 😢 😢THE LAST EVER Month...
Filmed over a 3 day period, this video shows a storm in the North Sea.
This ship and it's crew of 15 eat, sleep and work at sea for a month at a time.

Spent a large part of my life on Semi-Submersible Rigs in the North Sea. Used to love the real rough weather like shown in this video. Jokingly we would call this "Spot The Standby Boat Weather" and literally it sometimes was so rough that the standby boat would disappear from view apart from the top of their masts such was the size of the waves. I used to feel for the guys working ships in this weather as on a semi sub motion is much reduced.
My very first trip on this job was at the Deep Sea Pioneer at the Argyle Field. The weather became so bad and the rig getting so battered that they were preparing to shoot their anchors away.
I was glad I was on a ship that could roll with the waves and not on that rig 😂
@@bobrodgersonsmostlymotorcy9265 wow that has to be quite the job. I've only watched the documentaries on Discovery but it sure looks wild out there
Spent my life at sea; mainly on the bridge. My teachers said I would never get anywhere staring out the windows all day long. How wrong they were.
Good luck to you,I bet you have led an interesting life.
@Charles Martell North sea and Biscay 1980's on a oil exploration ship staring up at the waves from the bridge. Such a rush. Loved my time at sea.
Try it on a Frigate in the North Atlantic. 3426 tons. Talk about a roller coaster ride.

I couldn't agree more
@Raymond Stemmer I don't think most folks encounter pools of dog shit on cruises, did you pay extra for that or was it a budget cruise?
Hell yeah!
I still blasted the Edmund Fitzgerald on repeat
True, no music needed when you have the haunted house symphonic orchestra.
At age 10 in 1955 our family was emigrating from Germany to the US on a former troop transport. It was November and we were hit by a storm like this in the North Sea. My 9y/o brother and I decided to go out on deck to check out all the excitement. Upon opening the door I remember seeing huge waves washing over the sides and what I now know were lifelines strung out. Suddenly someone grabbed us by the nape of the neck, shoved us down the gangway and scolded us in English. We didn’t understand but we got the message. I’ve never forgotten that day or the fierceness of the storm even though it was over sixty years ago. I have immense respect for “ those who go out in ships!”
That sounds like quite an experience and a good story to tell.

Where were your parents when you two kids went out in that dangerous situation. Thank GOD someone acted in a disciplined way. 🙏🏾
I was waiting for the "someone smacked the snot out of you" part. haha!
when traveling by ship was still cheaper than air travel getting sea sick on a ship in weather like this was a much more common experience. fewer people traveled then as often as we do now, because it took much longer to get anywhere . but those who did have to travel could expect this kind of weather on the north Atlantic about 6-7 months per year.
And now look your English is perfect and you understand.
My most sincere respect for any person that does this for a living.
Thank you very much

Gunner The Shepherd exactly
Spent my teen years working as a deck hand on charter boats and lobstering before joining the Navy at 18 and spending 30 years underwater on submarines and forward deployed on surface ships. Literally sailed the seven seas, through typhoons, hurricanes and pirate infested waters, and now in my 60's am out in the mountains and occasionally remembering the beauty of the sea and her power but always remembering the men and women that make their livings sailing on her with respect and wonderment in their eyes
Sounds like a fantastic life. I can’t wait to head for the mountains myself.
We have a crewman who has been at sea for 65 years, joined the RN at the age of 16.
I’ve started documenting his story.

Sir.. that is ONE helluva life. Salute.
@@Bigwavemaster1 Now, that guy is an old salt and deserving of a gentle retirement. Am friends with a few divers, including saturation and mixed gas, and they are a rare breed. Cheers to him and his retirement years👍
It touched! Hope you are living with your fearful but sweet memories
Amen to that!!!
I'm a yacht delivery skipper and have sailed in most of the world's oceans. But never have I been more frightened and seasick than I have been in the North Sea. It can be a truly awful place, bloody awful!
It can indeed but also makes great memories
Because it's shallow. Kicks up. Lake Erie in America is the same. On the Canadian side in Ontario, is a chain of lakes called the kawarthas . The southern most of these is called lake scugog It means flooded land. 45 minutes from Toronto. It averages about 6 feet. A slight breeze from the southwest, and there's 5 foot rollers . Really short interval too.
What size and kind of ship is this?
Impressive that these ships endure so much without breaking in half
You can hear the creaking popping and cracking so good without lame music covering it up
It takes special people to work in these conditions away from family
Hats off to all who do this for a living and prayers for safe journey
Thank you very much.
These ships are built for the conditions but this was not the case in the early days of the industry.
@@Bigwavemaster1 Lot of stories about those mass produced Liberty Ships just breaking in half and quickly sinking in WW2. Can see why
That guy drinking coffee thinking: "Maybe my mother was right about studying accounting"...
@owen bevans Do you have mommy issues or something??
That's hilarious!
Sure a year of accounting paycheck is a monthly on a ship, the guy is thinking about adding another ferrari to his garage, which accounting wont afford you.
Some moms are milfs.
@@BenDover-wm7wf An excellent and valid point
I love the open water but terrified of it at the same time. I would be physically sick being on this ship tossing around like that. Major respect for folks that make a living from careers out in the sea.

You took the words right out of my mouth, terrifying! being in mother nature's hands along for the ride.. Couldn't imagine being in a small wooden vessel like they did in the past. Big respect!
We have a saying here in Scandinavia (not sure about the origin) "Only a fool doesn't fear the sea"
You get used to it.
I loved my time working on the fishing trawlers that sailed off the North West Coast of Ireland. I loved the sea but it also scared the shit out if me which teaches you to respect the sea too. My thoughts with all the brave men and women who were lost to the water and their families. ❤️
Indeed. Glad we could bring back some memories

Including all the fish that were fished ❤ respects to them too
I am always reassured by fear. Fear keeps you alive. I want to sail round the world and for a while I thought I can't do it I'll be too scared. Then I realised I had always been scared sailing and it was a positive. So it's always good to read of a professional like yourself who is happy to admit the fear. Feel the fear and do it anyway. This saying was invented for sailing. So often it's amazing... and then when the fear hits... it hits hard. Then it goes again and the sea is the only place you want to be and you can't understand why anyone wants to be anywhere else.
In 1974 I was aboard the U.S.S. Bristol County LST 1198. I was an infantry Marine with BLT 1/4. Somewhere between Taiwan and Okinawa we hit the HUGE swells from a typhoon. The ship was listing probably 45 degrees from port to starboard. All the chairs and tables were lashed to the railings on the mess deck and the coffee in the big coffee makers was pouring out of the top of them every time the ship listed. We had to sit on the deck with our mess trays in our lap and hang on to the railing to keep from sliding across the deck. I was the only guy in our troop compartment who didn’t get sea sick! LOL
Certainly the stuff that memories are made of.
45 degrees is freaking huge, that could cost most ships their lives
Strange I do not get sea sick as well and I have been in bad weather. It always reminds me of being at a carnival park with lots of rides.
What many people may not realize is how tiring being at sea in this sort of weather is. Every muscle in your body is constantly working just to stay on your feet. Even when in your bunk you are constantly working to prevent being thrown out. It's a tough job.
Midships narrow pilot berth with cot sides (and strap yourself in with "repurposed" car seatbelts). Pretty much guarantees a good sleep (well, always worked for me!) :-)
Just don't drink alcohol. I have been on a couple fishing boats and that was one thing I couldn't do was drink Beer. Seasick is not my idea of fun.
The ship I was on had air ride suspension so yo couldn't feel a single wave!!😎🌩🚢🌩🌈😪
@Michael Swanson 😂😂
My father always used to say take the top bunk so no one can puke down on you. He spent a lot of time at Sea in World War II
Amazing how much water is on our earth when you think about it
And to think it doesn’t just fall off....
@@nathancooper1 I could party with you dudes. Some crazy shit
@D. I. D I would be wearing my Steve Madden rubber boots while standing on deck.
it do be like that
And people wonder how and where we came from and the fact that most or all mammals on this planet have two eyes, two ears, four limbs, one nose with two nostrils, one brain, one A$$HOLE, one private part, one heart very similar to other mammals, etc, etc, etc... JUST LIKE US HUMAN BEING... Think about it my friend.
As a former USN sailor, I loved being at Sea. Ran into rough seas crossing the North Atlantic, the Med & sailing from Norfolk to Gitmo into a storm. The rougher the better, for me. Another plus was, I never slept better than when we were underway. That is when you learn that your body is connected to the Ocean.
It was only the storms that kept me at sea for the last couple of years. Last month, after 40 years, I went to work on a farm.
ua-cam.com/video/PHTPRvCddwc/v-deo.html
I can attest 1719456. I made a North Atlantic cruise in winter of 1969 aboard the USS WACCAMAW AO 109. Saw these type of seas too first hand. Slept like a baby.
I never slept better than when underway either….the hum of the engines plus that rocking. Always knocked me out fast.
I was USCG but made that exact transition to Gitmo many times, my first patrol in 2002 we hit 50ft seas off of Cape Hatteras.
I miss it, was a scary ride on a 270’ (CGC Tahoma WMEC 908)ship that rode like a football in the water.
Same here, I grew up on and around commercial fishing boats and can say that I've never slept on land, as good as at see. It's definitely some connection we have to the sea.
This is nothing compared to my experiences as a 7 year old on the local kids boating lake in Barnsley. we really had to use our imagination and of course, there were always the Pirates. God knows how we survived.
I’ve heard legend about about the Barnsley Boating Lake but never believed them……..until now 😳
😂
You should have been in Peasholme park in Scarborough on the day of the Battle of the River Plate. ( tuesdays,thursdays and saturdays). Those model boats backed up by the Royal Air Force scared me and my friend and we almost sank our red indian canoe avoiding the ducks.

Just another day in the office :) I’m doing same job as captain on one of these rescue vessels at North Sea, and I have a dozen of similar storms behind me. It’s a very dangerous and unforgiving environment to work at. After 4 winter weeks at sea, you’re both mentally and physically exhausted. Respect to all my fellow seaman’s who are doing same jobs up there. Hard earned money!!! Stay safe this winter as well.
Respect to YOU!!!
Question from a landlubber: Don't get seamen used to such stormy conditions over time?
@@c.norbertneumann4986 over time and physically, yes, it takes a lot to make me seasick (it's almost impossible now). The anxiety of being out in weather like that never faded for me even after years offshore. Not to mention the fatigue that comes with bad weather. It's hard to sleep when the boat is rattling and creaking, the anchor chains are banging, and one second you're weightless and then the next you're being ground into the mattress.
What position is “same job as Captain”? As far as l know there is only one Captain. Either you are “it” or you’re not. Please clarify.
@@irvingwood I think I he meant he was doing the same job, as captain. Not that he was doing the same job as “the” captain.
What a lot of fun this had to be! I spent ten years on the N Atlantic year round and love weather like this. Makes you feel alive having the deck dancing beneath your feet as she climbs every sea and drops down into the trough on the back side. It's very apparent the crew are seasoned men and have complete confidence in the vessel their on. Hats off to them all!
The great part is they show her plowing along at night which is always the most dangerous time. Dark , lowered visibility. Yeah this is a great video!!!
The storms were the only reason I stayed at sea.
@@Bigwavemaster1 Stormy weather is for real men of the sea! Love IT!!

I went through this one time in the North Atlantic. I loved the experience. Only worry when the crew stops laughing.
Never stop laughing 😂 I
@Dark Coven Years if practice 😊
I have been thru something like this on the Biscay, man sure love to come back, the vessel just dances with the enormous waves, plus I love the sound os steel twisting! 😍
@@grimaldi4135 not for me 😳
I love when waves get bigger and agree with O P that you should only worry when the crew, especially those who have a lot of years experience, start to worry. Completely calm waters is boring after a while. Sometimes I like to tease poor worried people who have never seen anything other than calm waters, and say “nah, this isn’t rough, it’s just a little choppy”.
The first time I experienced choppy waters, was in what was was an old fishing boat, taking we tourists to the Isle of Mull. It really was just a little choppy with the odd wave coming over the side of the boat as we huddled together under a tarp to keep dry. But I was scared until I noticed the old guy looking through his window and saying “Aw buggerit! mah Coffee!”. His only concern was he spilled some of his coffee. I then laughed at my worries which felt such a relief.
I have the greatest respect and admiration for these folks..
My Dad was in the Coast Guard during the War, and boy did he have the BEST stories to tell, and photos to show!
You guys are the BEST!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

That’s probably why we never saw him again 😂
that's why I appreciate all of the seafarers. they are so brave.
Thank you very much 😊
hakeemdj368 remember the ship Cornelia Marie with captain Phil? On deadliest catch? Awesome bravery on the high seas!
Never actually watched it but I understand they have weather that’s a bit scuffley as well? 😂
Because they bring the world to you and put fish on your plate.
No risk. Supply boats are special built for big waves. Weather like this is what the North Sea Sailors in shuttle for allied troops did face and risk in small fishing vessels during WWII. But ofc they were targets for fighters and marines + storm. Today's ships are fun to be at in big waves. Real fun.
I’m frm a damn ghetto here in Philadelphia and I’ve nvr in my life seen anything like this, even the toughest gangster thug wana be in my hood would nvr in life set foot on this thing lol hats off to these brave men doing what they do..
Thank you 😊
...worked with quite a few grown up thugs in Alaska. Don't know how big the waves were but while setting bait on a 98ft longliner our sodium lights once revealed a killer whale looking down on us in a wave blue as an aquarium.
@@derekhall4017 WOW!!!
Lol, exactly! About lost my wet cigarette and looking back toward the crew from the weather deck I was happy to see I had a witness share the sight, but there could be no yells of wow. Setting bait even during good weather can have its dangers so communication was kept strictly between captain and deck boss via the horn, or else. Widest eyes ever said "Yes I effing saw that!", followed by "What the hell are we doing out here?" smiles. We were running from a storm to harbor just 3 or 4 hours away... this vid is relentless monster.
That is why we love being at sea...:

Yeah, when you're about to be in a big storm the first thing you do is batten the hatches, that means close all air tight compartments and tie everything down. Then you point your ship right into the waves, you don't let it hit you at an angle. We got hit one time in a 100 knot storm on the port side and it pushed us down 70 degrees, that's almost laying flat on the ocean. Off the coast of Maine these things are called "noreasters." My ships were only 270 and 160 feet long, in the Coast Guard.
@@mortond Yes. USCG. Did two years on the east coast and two years on the west coast.
I wish folks like you would be interviewed , to get your life stories made into video. Im sure you guys had quite an experience out there. Interesting to hear what actions must be taken during the storm. Thank you.
John Allen you pussy ...70 degrees is nothing.
@@justininvestor 70 degrees is almost flat chief. 90 degrees and the ship would have been flat on the water.

There is nothing I love more than a well found ship doing what she's built to do... THIS!!! I absolutely love rough weather, the rougher the better, and in a big strong boat like this it's all the better.
It certainly is 😉
@Bigwavemaster1 I appreciate the response, especially on a video this old! Thanks! I subbed for that reason partly, but also because this video is my new favorite "I can't sleep" show.
I grew up on sailboats... 18 months on a little 27 foot Bermuda sloop while my parents built a 60 foot Bruce Roberts staysail schooner... from 4 to 12½ years old.

I commercial fished for 8 years here in Alaska. From the Gulf of Alaska to the Bering Sea. That’s why I’m a Bush Pilot.

Every time a wave surges over the bow, Little Fishy goes yeeeehaw!
She does a little dance 😊
For the sea state and size of those waves, this ship has a very sea kindly nature. A LOT of motion, but very gentle for all that. No crashing and slamming and hard stops. I know the wave spacing plays a role, but would love to see the hull design, or know what kind of ship it is.
You get a good idea of the ship from these videos
ua-cam.com/play/PLG-lkGl9kpwSspZOmTgHoxoV7xWpLAm64.html
Remember your ancestors who made these types of crossings and think about their ships. Respect.
You mean raiding england at weekends?
I was thinking the same
Stupidity don't deserve respect. Mankind is not supposed to be at sea in such weather conditions, it is gambling with life.
@WarthDader74
Try not to be such a prick.
Most likely died when this happened.
As large as those waves are, the men walking about deck are behaving as if it's a pleasant Sunday stroll in the park. I would have duct taped myself into a closet at this point.😳
Lmfaoooo...... same.
Lmaoooooo
Remember, small ships roll a lot in such storms compared to large ships. The bigger the ship the less chance of sinking

Great comment Lee. I can relate. As for these guys, looks like they had things under control. In your experience, do you think this ship was running on autopilot or computer control? I didn't see anybody actually steering but did see the guy punching a display screen. Thanks for a reply if you have the time.
@@billcallahan9303 When I was on seine netters it was the early 80's, the usual practice was when steaming from A - B the helm would be on auto with somebody not far from the bridge radar especially in busy waters i.e near the docks or shipping lanes.
This type of fishing needed somebody at the wheel, the skipper or mate usually did the job, basically it involved:
1. A buoy would be dropped with one trawl cable attached.
2. We would steam around a half circle, diameter about 1/2 mile+ trailing this first cable which would settle on the seabed
3. Halfway at the top of the circle the net would go over with both cables attached.
4. Steam back to the buoy trailing the second cable to complete the circle.
5. Then pick up first cable and buoy ( it would have a long mast with a flag on top so easier to spot in heavy seas).
6. Take both cables to the winch and start hauling them and the net back.
As the circle of cable narrowed into a sausage shape it dragged along the seabed stirring up sand and both cables would shepard the fish inwards like this:
Cable 1 -> fish
@@LeeRaldar .....Thanks a million Lee! On auto. That's what I figured. Your detailed explanation is very much appreciated. You worked the North Sea which I know (from TV & the Net) is some of the most dangerous in the world. I know choppers & even oil rig platforms have gone down up there. I watch the crews in the Bering Sea on TV in some heavy seas, they steered on auto too. I'm a retired cargo pilot. I flew old aircraft like the DC-3 with no weather radar. A wall of thunderstorms ahead would scare the bejesus out of you. That's the reason for my interest in things like this. Anyway, thanks very much for your reply Lee! You're lucky to be alive!
@@billcallahan9303 I think the survival training has been updated from my time to include ditching from helicopters for rig workers and the like. Can't think of much worse than going down into that during winter, you took some risks yourself in such weather.

Yes yes
Yeah .. It would make my dog sick if he has to watch AND listen.

I wonder if you were able to get past the fear and sickness, whether the seas would lull you, and storms feel like a gigantic show ride?

As I’m watching this I’m affirming to myself that there is no amount of money you could pay me to be on that ship for a week in that sea let alone for a month.

I’d pay for a seat on the bridge with a cuppa and just watch the waves. Thanks for no music, I love to hear the creaks and growns of the ship with the spray lashing the bridge windows. 👏👏👍👍
Me too but I would want a way somehow to instantly put me back on land if things were to go south if you know what I mean
@@deppurple700 good idea. I spent 10 years at sea and miss it terribly.
I think I'd need something a little stronger than a cuppa!
@Noble six I’m ex navy and have been through a heap of storms like that and love it. So I’ll say it before during and after the water has hit the windows.
Lmao yeah until a 50 foot rogue wave hits 😂
I don't care how tough you think your boat is. If the ocean wants you IT WILL have you PERIOD...!!! Never underestimate the power of water. All you have to do is look at what the poor Japanese folks went through in 2011 with there tsunami.

I spent two years aboard ship in the western Pacific. If I remember correctly, we went through three typhoons, the worst being north of the Japanese Islands. The waves were as high as forty feet. You develop "sea legs" rather quickly, as the ship is rolling and pitching. It was awesome.
I would imagine the waves that you experienced were a great deal higher than 40’?

@@Bigwavemaster1 You may very well be right. From the water line to the flight deck was I think 35'. When we ploughed into the waves they would come up over the bow of the ship. So I would say they were 40' at a minimum.
I have experienced this myself in a hurricane out at sea ....absolutely terrifying !!!! I never thought I would make it and won't be doing it again. May God protect all those at sea.
Read the lyrics of "Eternal Father, Strong to Save" (also known as "The Navy Hymn"). There's a lot of uncomfortable truth in the line "For those in Peril on the Sea". www.lyrics.com/lyric/5089858/Phil+Coulter/For+Those+in+Peril+on+the+Sea
I was once caught in a force 12 gale on the ferry crossing between Uig to Lochmaddy Scotland, it was the most frightening experience ever, the boat had to turn back to harbour after an hour sailing and did an emergency turn with the 20 metre wave’s side on, never again would I embark on such a journey.
The weather "up there" can be particularly brutal. I never forget visiting a former colleague in Inverness, and experiencing horizontal sleet along the seafront (and I was told at the time this was "pretty normal November weather"!
And think about the Norse crossing in open wooden 40 foot boats with no idea what the weather would be like

Spent 25 years sailing the east Atlantic, Mediterranean, Baltic and the North Sea before I came ashore to work as a pilot. There were a bunch of rough times and loads of smooth time - that was a good time in my life. Then I came ashore because I got married and had a young family - that was and still is a good time as well, and still is. It’s nice to look back at these videos of how it was.
I gave up the sea earlier this year. After 40 years of working on trawlers & ERRVs I am now a farmer.

My goodness how very scary this is…..I went on a luxury cruise some years ago and late one night I sat on the small balcony outside my room and looked at the very calm sea……..It accured to me that if we went down nobody would really know where we were ..NEVER WENT ON ANOTHER CRUISE…..Thank you for this video…….
I hope that the people on the bridge knew where they were 😂
And at night....even more terrifying. What a ride!!
Yes at night.....horror
Yeaj,you can’t see the,m coming until there’s barely time to grab something and hold on.

That's what my wife tells me !
ive always thought fishermen, coal miners,ect, should be the highest paid worker's, i couldn't do it
Billy Fishermen in the UK are extremely well paid but the industry still can’t get enough youngsters to get their hands dirty and do a days work.

Bigwavemaster1 And you get paid less then fishermen? Damn
As an ex-sailor working on coasters on the North and Baltic Seas, I used to enjoy this kind of weather without feeding the fish!
The storms were the only reason I stayed at sea for so long.
@@Bigwavemaster1That's balls man. Repect.
My dad was in the Navy for 22 years and mostly on destroyers. Yeah those sailors are nuts so I went Army . My father loved the Navy and I’m proud of him.
So you should be.
Loved the sailing at night. Couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like several hundred years ago sailing similar seas at night on a wooden sail ship with no spot light, heaters, hot food in the galley, or hot coffee on the bridge with no window protecting you from the spray of the sea. I've gained a new respect for those guys. Well done Bigwavemaster1!
Not very nice, I would imagine.
I'm not sure they sailed on these particular seas at that time. But I could definitely be wrong. Probably am tbh. Lol! Unless they went off course?
Kinda gives insight into the evolution of men. We used to embark on journeys that almost certainly spelled death. Nothing convenient about it. Now days, we take booster shots to ‘stay safe’.

Ya. I love the natural sounds of the water on the hull of a boat and the wind whistling around the cabin. It's music to my ears!
I've never been on a large ship in the ocean. But a few years ago, I was on a 20 ft boat 5 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico when a squall came through. Rain and howling wind and the captain told me the 'rollers' were 7 feet. They seemed like 50 to me! Never been so scared and sick in my life! I though for sure we weren't gonna make it. I've been planted firmly on solid ground ever since. Much respect to you pros.
That’s quite a big sea for a 20 footer.
Crew member - I think it'll scare the kids.
Captain - The kids, this'll give the parents nightmares
😂
id rather be on that ship than spend another hour with my mother in law.
You’re not the first to say that and you won’t be the last 😂
Ahahahahahaha😂

I'm going to take up golf.
Did you hear about guy who took his mother-in-law out to the barn to show her around and a mule kicked her in the head and killed her right on the spot. At the funeral a guy noticed when men came up to him at the reception line he kept nodding and then shaking his head back and forth to almost all of them. He went over to ask him what was going on with that and he said "Well, they would say what a terrible thing it was that the poor woman had been kicked and killed and I'd nod yes, yes terrible thing. Then they'd ask me if I wanted to sell the mule and I'd shake my head and say no, no not doing that,"
How are they so relaxed and chill??? I’d be curled up in the corner crying

I spent ten years flying helicopters around the North Sea. Used to land on a platform or flotel in seas like this and be grateful I was in a helicopter, not a standby or supply ship like this one. From the wave height here the wind speed is probably around 60 knots. At seventy knots on the North Sea the waves start to flatten and the surface becomes a creamy white colour. Our limits were up to 75 knots, steady, maximum speed for shut down was 45, worst I ever saw was a gust of 105knots on the Norwegian platform Frigg.
I’ve never seen the waves flatten because the wind gets stronger?

Since when did wind flatten waves man that's just not possible... wind helps waves build face, not flatten... unless you meant something else and we misunderstood...
@@trujillo71921 the North Sea is quite shallow, around 400’ at it’s deepest point, with some of the southern gas fields in as little as 60-100ft. I’ve seen waves in the far north of it like this, but where most platforms are once the wind speed goes above 75kt the surface becomes mainly a creamy white colour as the waves break very fast due to the shallowness. Due to the early breaking the wave height drop’s significantly. It’s a local phenomenon, I was taught about it in the mid 80’s when I started flying offshore in the Southern North Sea gas fields. Saw similar around the northern oil fields through the 90’s until the oil companies saw some sense in terms of the conditions we flew in.

Went through seas as rough or rougher through a typhoon at 25’knots on a destroyer - the ship was under water most of the time and passing through and under the waves - as a young sailor I loved it 😊🇺🇸
I have so many questions because it looks frightening and respectfully awesome at the same time.
What kind of storms cause the waters to move and behave that way?
Do the engines get shut down?
Is there a co-captain to relieve the captain?
Does everyone stay awake due to the swaying from the ship?
What kind of foods so you eat when riding such a storm?
I have so many more questions but I don't want to sound like a 3 year old constantly asking, "Why...?"
