Weather can be a foe at sea. Fortunately I'm not vulnerable to seasickness as I spent time at sea.

Always amazing to see ships in those situations. It seems like they would sink.

Indeed! The British didn't claim a couple of Italian destroyers at the 2nd Battle of Sirte.... the sea did though

I've encountered this weather a couple of times in the Biscay on 8000 Ton cargo vessels.. Its not as funny as it looks... (especially not with heavy cargo pushing the point of gravity down...)

That brings back some memories, it's just like my first ship. I spent 4 years on DD-883.
