Hello fella I'm a big time hurricane buff/follower. I followed ike very closley. A bouy in the gulf regestered a max 52 foot swell during ike! That's some big seas. And that was a few hundred miles south of the pensecola area. Not sure where you were sailing? Glad you made it in!
I remember , 2nd. I was there! The capt. himself isn't being sued, though there is legal stuff going on. Not really my place to comment further, though.
Its actually about a 700ft vessel and the waves never exceeded much more than 50-60 feet. I crewed on this very bucket for two years. None-the-less, this is impressive footage.
very impressive ... this is not my weekend runabout boat ... this is a mega-ton ship ...

Yup. 70-footers I'd guess. GREAT footage! When the bow lifts and you are looking at nothing but sky....JESUS what big rollers!

This tanker is a little over 600 feet...I used to work on it and I don't think those seas are 70'....maybe 50' at most.
