Ship departing Wellington into big swell

[highwayman7769]

someone get me a vomit bag I'm getting sea sick just looking at it. lol sure it's better then a rollercoaster.

[damianpobrien]

great clip. I used to live in island bay and used to watch ferries heading out like that round the heads. serious shortage of sick bags on that ferry.

[golmatolsi]

Damn nature you scary

[Oakleaf700]

Our great grandad [born 1875] was a boatbuilder in Ullapool-they must have made boats strong in those days, and they were wooden vessels..evidently the seas around Northern scotland get pretty fierce-I would hate to be in a ferry as rough as this..wailing kids, ill people [me included]-would be sheer hell:-(

[whemadre]

Raaaalph!!

[lyallbaybum69]

Of course everyone says they have sailed in rougher conditions,but how many can back that up?

Try the' Minch' or the 'Pentland firth' in Scotland;makes the Cook strait look like a mirror.

[toy2day]

Excellent video!!!! How many of you saw this more that one time because of the accent??

[highwayman7769]

@toy2day Char Bro...

[tasman763]

agree with below......I have crossed in much worse

[fraggle2rocks]

They sail in worse than that across the Cook Straight.

[iNinja85]

LOL! Glad it's never been that rough when I go on the ferry lol!

[theloganloganlogan]

i hope that wasn't a ferry!! LOL

[chevy454fj40]

[king7wood]

Impressive video

[kiwimumof4]

My dad was a Captain"s Tiger on the interisland ferries I had lots of sea crossings on this exact cook straight & I have been on a trip rougher than that & it was sheer horror!!!!! I still do not know why they still sail knowing how bad the weather might be arghhhhhh

[BIGJAXnet]

The Captain of that Ship is Gangsta!!! Wow!! Navigating in those waves...

[32670bodiam]

sod being on that

[sparrow20027125454]

ох,и хорошо им там прорыгалось!Хотя, как моряк, скажу - нихуя смешного!

СЕМЬ ФУТОВ ПОД КИЛЕМ!!!

[theferrybore]

Is that the same Suilven that ran between the Scottish isles a few years back?

[castle5029]

You are correct. It is the same Suilven that used to sail between Stornoway & Ullapool when it was in service with Calmac. I remember it well, the sailings across The Minch which could get just as bad. I was in the RAF posted up at Stornoway & there was an in house joke when we had had supply runs come over from RAF Kinloss as to whether the driver would get back to the mainland as Calmac would stop sailings if the weather got too bad. You couldnt forget sailing on her unlike Isle of Lewis today

[theferrybore]

Thanks for that. I'll need to get to that Isle of Lewis some time.

[kugreb]

там, наверное, всем тачкам внутри пиздец пришел

[eccle2]

I was on the "Fairstar" in 1964 going through the Bay of Biscay in similar conditions - and I was even out on deck (hanging on tight I might add) - it was great. I was the only one game enough to venture out. There was a cargo ship just behind us having the water go over the front of the ship almost to the middle of it. Quite fascinating to see actually.

[vince2034]

wow

[shywiseowl]

Just showed this to my partner...We came home on this companies opposition today. My partner wanted to sail with the above company but I have heard they have a disgusting safety record. He is glad he listened to me after watching this video.

[DuffBasher]

How can a ferry company dictate the weather? You want to see a disgusting safety record, have a look at Wikipedia's article on the Interislander ("the opposition) ferry "Aratere"... now that's truly scary.

[Starleybags]

Haha What a wuss. that thing can handle the weather. i worked with this company for 4 years. they are a fully kiwi owned and operated company. funny how some people hav 4got the past with trans-rail and all ther strikes. SSL (strait shipping Ltd) comes along and makes the passenger fares at competitive and constant sailings for you chumps. Cooks strait is one fukn mean strech of sea in a Southerly. check out my vid of us taking out the becon in wellys.Shee'l be right, well built 30 year old ship
