    Filmed during a heavy storm on the North Sea, between Norway and Scotland. The conditions were terrible, the views amazing! Waves of 20 mtr plus were recorded!
    Fyi, the vessel is the Calamity Jane, an offshore support vessel. L.o.a. : 141 m or 463 ft.

    I spent almost ten years working on cargo vessels, good job and traveling a lot all over the world but no life, no birthdays, no Christmas with family. I survived two major accidents, a collision with another vessel and a fall on the deck hitting my back, unable to stand by I just rolled to a safety place with a lot of pain, almost one month later I started working normally again. Huge storms and huge waves, strong winds and solitude are part of a sailor job.

    The trick is to go at a speed which is either slow enough to allow the vessel to gracefully descend into the wave hollows or to go fast enough to let her go from peak to peak. Any speed in between those two will just make her dive into the wave hollows too late - and then to crash bluntly into the next oncoming wave because the bow can't rise quick enough (it's still on its way down and inertia takes its toll). Furthermore, it means to burn fuel for nothing.

    Part 2! People confuse a big swell with a storm. A storm is wind force. A swell often comes from 500 miles away 2 days ago and may be windless.
    Few people have experienced F10+. The seas flatten as the wind just wipes out the wavetops. We get easier motion with a long swell but no visibility and no electronics. Just flying water and no rest as your body is racked endlessly by the sound of the screaming wind. It doesn't just hit your hearing but seems to penetrate your innermost core.
