We were in Calais a few years before this was made. Ships were stopped from entering Calais because the following sea and wind strength meant they couldn’t actually stop! Two large ocean going tugs were eventually brought in to act as “catchers”, to stop the ferries hitting the harbour walls. We got the train after that! 😆
I wonder if that was the time I was on the Super See Cat from Oostende to Dover. The sea was so rough and the wind so high we had to wait outside Dover for tugs to take us in. I have never been so sea sick. Glad I had eaten breakfast. My wife was unaffected.

Memories. Going home for Christmas this happened quite a few times. The worst was one time when they announced in Dover that they stopped taking life stock on board. After a very rough crossing we had to wait near Calais for six hours until it was safe to enter the port. I had quite a few complimentary English breakfasts to pass the time while everyone else seemed to be seasick.
Full credit to that captain and cruise line some airline should take note of the frequency of communication even if there is nothing to update it is the best pr possible
Hi Stephen. Thanks for watching! Absolutely! The Captain and officers made continuous announcements throughout. They were excellent! Myké Instagram: thebearded_blogger www.a2bviasea.co.uk
one does have to keep in mind that there are a ton of officers and crew up on the bridge, on an airplane, often only two people are reasonably in the loop (the chief-steward might know something, but, most non-pilot crew have no idea of the action/situation up front, and even less of the wider context)... there is simply not the manpower on most modern planes to maintain PR... when things become challenging, there is no time one is not at full capacity with just flying the plane... it is all they can handle in a serious situation where an announcement would make sense.
Back in 1988, I took a ferry from mainland Iceland to Heimaey it was OK getting there but a few days later getting back was a totally different story, as it was an incredibly rough crossing, there were quite a few Swiss people on that ferry, huddled in groups, with oversized vomit buckets, wearing life jackets and in tears, that was the onboard entertainment "sorted" LOL, it took 6 hours, to do a 4 hour crossing and even after arriving on dry land, nearly everyone was still wobbling all over the place, as they walked.

Hi James. I was on an afternoon return crossing in 1990! The wind and conditions were diabolical. My dear old dad always took his marine band receiver on our frequent trips over (Both local to Dover Dad from Deal, I'm from Margate) and I vividly recall we were in a queue of vessels awaiting enter bsvk into Dover. Being ship number 3, we'd been sheltering under the cliff round by St Margaret's, when Dad suddenly gave out a loud hooray. Turns our, a kadi on board or ship had her waters beak and was going into labour. A decision was made to have the two port rugs ready as soon as we crossed the breakwater to steady us and guide us into a berth. I've never been so relieved to have reached dry land. The vessel was literally pitching and rolling what felt like 45 degrees. And the stench of sick was appalling. One positive outcome, in my haste to get back to Valais port fro. Eastenders Wine marquee, I'd forgotten to call in fur my ciggiy allowance, and I was suffering a dreadful chest cold. The combination of the crossing memory and the thought of smoking put me off fags for life. I'm 57 now and have never smoked since 😊🙏. Thanks for jogging my memory, I appreciate it. And tbdnks also to A2B via Sea, on TV for a brilliant video. 🙏✌️

This must of been filmed quite a while ago as the Burgundy only came back for a short time. Potentially February 2022? Plus the majority of British voices heard will of been laid off in March 2022 by P&O Ferries (Myself included, Ex Pride of Kent).
Several years ago myself and a group of friends took a ferry ride during conditions similar to this. When we arrived at port the winds were so strong that it was all us girls could do to even walk off. Must have been blowing hurricane force or more. We literally had to lean against the wind to try and walk while holding arms.
Hi. Thanks for watching! I'm glad you were all disembarked the ship safely . More videos in my playlist 'When travelling doesn't go to plan ' including a video uploaded only last week in similar conditions
@@windysilkgirl hi. I have been at sea in hurricane force winds (sustained wind speed of over 86mph) but, we didn't depart in that weather - the storm blew up mid channel. I have seen ships depart the ports in storm force 10 with the aid of tugs; anything more than that the ship may get blown into the piers and breakwaters of the port. It all depends on the wind direction, wave height, size & type of ferry.
@@A2BviaSeaonTVmakes sense we left in 50-55 knot winds but encountered 85 knots and when we docked it let up some but immediately began blowing close to 100 once we were off the ship. I’ve never felt wind like that before absolutely nothing you could do but try not to get blown away.
Hi Phil. Thanks for watching! Absolutely agree! There is a video on the playlist 'When travelling doesn't go to plan' of A2B via Sea aboard Spirit of Britain approaching Dover when at the last minute we make a sharp turn to port and abort the manoeuvre as winds picked up too 80knots, 90+ mph. Myké Instagram: thebearded_blogger www.a2bviasea.co.uk
Oh, this is nothing. I remember a crossing from Dover to Calais in early 96. While we had dinner at dear old Taste of India in Dover, there were a few snowflakes tumbling down and we had a good laugh. Snow in the channel, hahaha... When our vessel, the Pride of Calais, departed Dover with a delay of two hours, there was a good inch of snow on the ground. Crossed in a blizzard with force 10 winds, gusting 12. They had us waiting for another hour outside of Calais, so the captain turned the ship's nose into the wind to keep the movement down a little. By then, most people didn't even bother going to the bogs anymore and just barfed where they were sitting while the crew were busy mopping it all up with industrial vacuum cleaners. My better half had brought a box of diigestives upstairs, put them into a clean (!) sick bag and ate them with a big grin. Sent a few more of those green faces over the edge. 🙂 Eventually, we got the green light in Calais and they turned the vessel in the right direction. That's when a big wave hit us plain from the side, the vessel took a hefty sway to port side and the hole bar came crashing out of the shelves, bottles, glasses and all. When we left Calais, we had trouble seeing the road. In the end, we wrecked our car less than two miles before reaching our hotel in Boulogne. Surely a trip we'll never forget.

one does have to keep in mind that there are a ton of officers and crew up on the bridge, on an airplane, often only two people are reasonably in the loop (the chief-steward might know something, but, most non-pilot crew have no idea of the action/situation up front, and even less of the wider context)...
there is simply not the manpower on most modern planes to maintain PR... when things become challenging, there is no time one is not at full capacity with just flying the plane... it is all they can handle in a serious situation where an announcement would make sense.

Back in 1988, I took a ferry from mainland Iceland to Heimaey it was OK getting there but a few days later getting back was a totally different story, as it was an incredibly rough crossing, there were quite a few Swiss people on that ferry, huddled in groups, with oversized vomit buckets, wearing life jackets and in tears, that was the onboard entertainment "sorted" LOL, it took 6 hours, to do a 4 hour crossing and even after arriving on dry land, nearly everyone was still wobbling all over the place, as they walked.

Hi James. I was on an afternoon return crossing in 1990! The wind and conditions were diabolical. My dear old dad always took his marine band receiver on our frequent trips over (Both local to Dover Dad from Deal, I'm from Margate) and I vividly recall we were in a queue of vessels awaiting enter bsvk into Dover. Being ship number 3, we'd been sheltering under the cliff round by St Margaret's, when Dad suddenly gave out a loud hooray. Turns our, a kadi on board or ship had her waters beak and was going into labour. A decision was made to have the two port rugs ready as soon as we crossed the breakwater to steady us and guide us into a berth. I've never been so relieved to have reached dry land. The vessel was literally pitching and rolling what felt like 45 degrees. And the stench of sick was appalling.
One positive outcome, in my haste to get back to Valais port fro. Eastenders Wine marquee, I'd forgotten to call in fur my ciggiy allowance, and I was suffering a dreadful chest cold. The combination of the crossing memory and the thought of smoking put me off fags for life. I'm 57 now and have never smoked since 😊🙏.
Thanks for jogging my memory, I appreciate it. And tbdnks also to A2B via Sea, on TV for a brilliant video. 🙏✌️

This must of been filmed quite a while ago as the Burgundy only came back for a short time. Potentially February 2022? Plus the majority of British voices heard will of been laid off in March 2022 by P&O Ferries (Myself included, Ex Pride of Kent).
Several years ago myself and a group of friends took a ferry ride during conditions similar to this. When we arrived at port the winds were so strong that it was all us girls could do to even walk off. Must have been blowing hurricane force or more. We literally had to lean against the wind to try and walk while holding arms.
Hi. Thanks for watching! I'm glad you were all disembarked the ship safely . More videos in my playlist 'When travelling doesn't go to plan ' including a video uploaded only last week in similar conditions
It wasn’t safe but we were able to disembark. The wind was crazy
what are the highest winds they will sail in?
@@windysilkgirl hi. I have been at sea in hurricane force winds (sustained wind speed of over 86mph) but, we didn't depart in that weather - the storm blew up mid channel. I have seen ships depart the ports in storm force 10 with the aid of tugs; anything more than that the ship may get blown into the piers and breakwaters of the port. It all depends on the wind direction, wave height, size & type of ferry.
@@A2BviaSeaonTVmakes sense we left in 50-55 knot winds but encountered 85 knots and when we docked it let up some but immediately began blowing close to 100 once we were off the ship. I’ve never felt wind like that before absolutely nothing you could do but try not to get blown away.

Thanks for watching
Oh, this is nothing. I remember a crossing from Dover to Calais in early 96. While we had dinner at dear old Taste of India in Dover, there were a few snowflakes tumbling down and we had a good laugh. Snow in the channel, hahaha...
When our vessel, the Pride of Calais, departed Dover with a delay of two hours, there was a good inch of snow on the ground. Crossed in a blizzard with force 10 winds, gusting 12. They had us waiting for another hour outside of Calais, so the captain turned the ship's nose into the wind to keep the movement down a little. By then, most people didn't even bother going to the bogs anymore and just barfed where they were sitting while the crew were busy mopping it all up with industrial vacuum cleaners. My better half had brought a box of diigestives upstairs, put them into a clean (!) sick bag and ate them with a big grin. Sent a few more of those green faces over the edge. 🙂
Eventually, we got the green light in Calais and they turned the vessel in the right direction. That's when a big wave hit us plain from the side, the vessel took a hefty sway to port side and the hole bar came crashing out of the shelves, bottles, glasses and all.
When we left Calais, we had trouble seeing the road. In the end, we wrecked our car less than two miles before reaching our hotel in Boulogne. Surely a trip we'll never forget.
