Now how would you feel if you had to do THIS for a living and you're 100's of miles from any form of rescue if it goes tits up and your world turns upside down?

....Lump in your throat? ...... or lump in the front of your pants? (Once you've checked the old life insurance...)

Looks fun!!












34,000ton, 225m long freighter in a mid Atlantic storm gets tossed around like a cork.
Several thousand tons of water regularly thrown over the top trying to snap the thing in half.... Nice... (parp!!)



(apologies for those not on Broadband if these piccies are cocking your system up.......... )

The wave in that last pic looks like a mountain!!

Where was this ????

Looks Pacific to me Tab.
Never saw sea's like that in the Atlantic.

AARR!!!
Bring me another cabin boy,this one is rectally challenged.

Have to be PC these days you know.

Thanks mad. I thought that was a masive hurricane in the first pic with the funnel bit comming down .

The first pic is scary! Gives you a shrinking winkie. Nice pics anyway!

The first 6 pics are all North Atlantic. Piccie 2, 4, 5 and 6 are all the same ship and were take during a North Atlantic storm February 1987 on an eastbound passage from Tampa, Florida to Ghent, Belgium with a load of phosphates.
