Cannot see that here but if the title is any indication...

Rough seas can, do, and will happen anywhere and at any time. The incidents where people go flying, etc. are rare though. The odds of YOU experiencing this on a single cruise are probably about the same as getting struck by lightning. (unless you're an avid golfer!)

really? you thought this was thread-worthy?



i suspect the mods will beg to differ.

I enjoy your trolling, lolbron, but suspect that you will get permabanned before you reach 100 posts.

Of course, by that time you have come to the end of your vacation, Nik, or whoever else you are.

Oh yes heard about that one. Lost a window in the bridge and that took out critical comms circuits. The vessel that video was shot from shot a line over with a satellite phone so the master could report on the vessel condition. Scary stuff.

We went through rough seas back in 2005 and were hit with a rogue wave over 75 feet high! That was a night that will never be forgotten.

Surely one day when I write a book (or two) that (night) will take a few chapters! :D

boats get tossed just as much as people. just watch the video for proof :biggrin:

Boats maybe but not ships.

If you've been on a large ship such as an ocean liner or tanker you'd know what I'm talking about.

That ocean liner was sure as hell getting tossed about... can't have been more than 5 degrees off capsizing :eek:
