I have been there... 30ft seas.. the sky dark grey... and the water black like oil... wind howling.... even in a 3-400ft ship it scared the hell outta me.... I was a master helmsman, and had to try and keep her on course... I want to sail a sailboat into the blue water... mostly in the carribean, but in the back of my mind,
I know what the sea can do.... this keeps me a little hesitant, eventhough I know people do it safely every day..... eperb and gps is a must.... I dont think I could even remeber how to shoot the stars or a sun line today if I had to...... When you are in a large ship, and the seas are so rough that your prop is coming out of the water and the hull is slamming into the water with tremendous force, you know you are in deep sheit..... my prayers are with the lost three and their families...
